Control Hardware Components in Laravel with Pinout

Pinout is a Laravel package that bridges the gap between web applications and hardware, enabling developers to control hardware components directly from their Laravel projects. With Pinout, you can interact with GPIO pins, control displays, and more, all within Laravel:

use \DanJohnson95\Pinout\Facades\PinService;
 
// GPIO pin number
$pin = PinService::pin(13);
$pin->isOn(); // Whether the pin is "on" (high)
$pin->isOff(); // Whether the pin is "off" (low)
$pin->turnOn(); // Set the pin to "on"
$pin->turnOff(); // Set the pin to "off"
$pin->makeInput(); // Set the pin to input mode
$pin->makeOutput(); // Set the pin to output mode
 
// Get multiple pins
$pins = PinService::pins(13, 19, 26);
$pins->turnOn(); // Turn all pins off in the collection
$pins->turnOff();
// ...
