Two-way Control with Web and Button
Web site:
http://tibbo.com/linux/nodejs/two-way-control-web-button.htmlProject Summary:
This is the simplest application enabling the control of a GPIO line through a hardware button.
Full Project:
About the Application
You can expand the functionality of the prev app if you add a hardware button control. Pressing the button will also toggle the state of the GPIO line (LED, relay,…) which is reflected in the LED state displayed in the browser window.
What you need
Besides the hardware used in the prev app you will also need:
- 1 x Tibbit #38 (push button)
- 1 x Tibbit #00_3 (2 direct I/O Lines with 5V and Ground)

Node.js Application
Add the following code to server.js:
- server.js
... var button = gpio.init("S11A"); var wasButtonPressed = false; button.setDirection('input'); setInterval(function(){ // If button is just released... if(button.getValue() === 1 && wasButtonPressed === true){ wasButtonPressed = false; // ...reads the LED state... var ledState = led.getValue(); //...inverses it... if(ledState === 1){ ledState = 0 }else{ ledState = 1; } //...writes... led.setValue(ledState); //...and submits to the web app if connected if(clients !== undefined){ clients.emit('tps:state:changed', ledState); } }else if(button.getValue() === 0){ // If button is pressed wasButtonPressed = true; } },100); ...
