About GPIO Tool For Raspberry Pi

For experimenting with the GPIO header on the RaspberryPi.

Note: This app is for experimenting and testing the devices, I do not condone or support using for anything else.

Now supports, The Quick2Wire Interface, IO Expander and Analog Boards.
Adafruit LCD Plate.
PiFace Command and Display.
DS18B20 Temperature Sensors.
DHT11/DHT22 Humidity Sensors. (Note RPI not good at reading these due to precise timing needed)
BMP085/185 and compatible Pressure Sensor.
BMP280 Pressure sensor.
Shift 74x595 Bit shift output.
HTU21D Digital Humidity and Temperature Sensor.
BH1750 Lux Sensor.
TCS34725 RGB Colour Sensor.
PiGlow board.

You can name and hide pins, set the pin modes and make them not changeable, set output pins to cycle on/off.
The temperature sensors are graphed, and can be displayed on a LCD.

Has a Simulator, lets you see how each device works without a Raspberry Pi.

SSH access to the Raspberry Pi, with password free sudo required to install utility app.

Uses a utility which it will install on the RPi, to communicate to your android, allowing switching of the pin modes, from input(pull high/pull low) to output & PWM. When pin set to output it will allow setting to high/low, for input pins will show current input state of high or low.

The RPi is communicated with over SSH, to install the utility the ssh user will have to have non-password sudo access.

Any issues - email android@winters.org.nz, i will sort them, issues listed in feedback will be ignored.

This is a freemium app, for free you get to add one raspberrypi and will see advertising, for a small in-app purchase you will get to remove the advert, add more raspberrypi's and get the features that will be coming in the future. (also buys the developer coffee).

Tried it on Pi2 and it works great!

Fails to connect, and the install on the Pi knocked out other working programs I was using for an application, not happy, 12 month project, need to start from scratch. No uninstall either.

I would love to see custom views available for pi. Other than that amazing app. Definitely recommend.

Loved the app so much I bought premium the only thing I could ask for is Tasker support so we can have even more controll

Can somebody tell me how exactly i could use the simulator feature????

Set it up for my new Raspberry Pi 2 model B with SSH enabled. I can use ssh to connect remotely but with this app when i click on the icon on tge top right it shows busy but never updates to the current state of GPIOs. I don't have any device. I can also access via monitor.

Hello, I installed this APP on my phone and can control the RPi very easy, but now I found I can't use my LCD screen for RPi, I think maybe because of this utility installed in RPi, could you tell me how to disable this utility in RPi? Thank you!

Once I found the setup button right above corner it all went fluent. Connected, installed a tar, compiled. Mark the gpio button on the android screen, read the /sys/class/gpio/... value. Just matches. Great.

I love this app, i use it every time i build with my raspberry pi. Its nice to use to make sure a circuit will work before you program the pi. I do have one minor bug, for some reason whenever the pi is powered off by power disconnect, the app freezes and i have to close it in my task manager. Not sure if this is exclusive to my S5 or not, but i figured i would let you guys know anyway. Thanks for the awesome app!

For GPIO control and multiple DS18B20 sensors reading, it's perfect. Planning to use it further.

I am running qemulated version of raspberry pi on windows and its giving me error..unable to determine hardware. Please provide support for qemu

Initially it would not install androidcmd? But after several attempts it finally downloaded to raspberrypi. Works great. Small issue with outputs changing from" cycle" to"normal"... but pin lock feature has corrected it.

This app seems like it would be awesome but I can not get it to interact with my pi. Am I missing something?

So easy and perfect! Now I controll all of my devices with the app:D

Top! With dht11/22 reading on the top :) Thanks!

Finally don't have to ssh from another computer just to turn on a pin.

Comes with the simulator which counts as a Pi but I can delete it or have more than one Pi. This appears to be an issue

Does what it says

F70%
by F####:

No way to disconnect/terminate a connection. No way to stop a gpio (led) once you start it on cycle. A shutdown/restart option would be great. My S3 display is not updating to show the true state of the gpio pins. Clear app data to fix this.

Excellent. Simple and effective. Thank you!

I do love the functionality that this app has and look foward to even more improvements as it matures. It has great potential and I am looking foward to future releases. Good work developer! Keep it up!

For some reason the latest update breaks the communication with my cisceo pi-lite shield when I connect to pi from this app

The only problem I can think of is: For some reason my pi gets disconnected when I switch my tablet orientation.
