Code An outline of the Code
Title
For simplicity, the code on Brian’s PIIRRI is series of shell commands stored in a .py file.
When Cron opens the file, pinPassOn.py, it executes a bash command to turn on the GPio pin that crontab specified.
Similarly, pinPassoff.py, turns off the GPio pin.
Both executables echo a statment along the lines of Pin x set to on/off which is written to a log file using cron.
pinPassOn.py
#!/bin/bash
gpio write $1 1
echo -n "Pin" $1 "set to ON. "
date
pinPassOn.py
#!/bin/bash
gpio write $1 0
echo -n "Pin" $1 "set to OFF. "
