Fish Dish Pi from Pi Supply

Ive managed to sit down and try out this simple but efficient add on, three leds, a button and a buzzer.

I needed to figure out the pins so used Daniel Bulls excellent berryio which is web based so all you need to do is type in the internal IP address, type ifconfig on terminal window of pi and go to a web browser on any computer, type pi IP address in the web box and up should come the berryio screen.

This was brilliant as I could check each gpio for input or output and soon found all I needed, being:

Red = gpio 9

Amber = gpio 22

Green = gpio 4

Buzzer = gpio 8

Button = gpio 7

First script manages the button to control the leds:

#!/usr/bin/python

# press button to light leds.
# http://www.mypifi.net/blog


# Import required libraries
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Tell GPIO library to use GPIO references
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

print "Setup GPIO pins"

# Set LED GPIO pins as outputs
GPIO.setup(9 , GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(4 , GPIO.OUT)

# Set Switches GPIO as input
GPIO.setup(7 , GPIO.IN)

print "Press the button"

try:

  # Loop until users quits with CTRL-C
  while True :

    # Turn off LEDs
    GPIO.output(9 , False)
    GPIO.output(22, False)
    GPIO.output(4 , False)
   
    if GPIO.input(7)==1:
      print "  Button pressed!"
        
      # Turn off LEDs
      GPIO.output(9 , False)
      GPIO.output(22, False)
      GPIO.output(4 , False)
        
      # Turn on LEDs in sequence
      GPIO.output(9 , True)
      time.sleep(1)
      GPIO.output(22, True)
      time.sleep(1)
      GPIO.output(4 , True)
      time.sleep(1)
      
      # Wait 2 seconds
      time.sleep(3)
      
      print "Press a button (CTRL-C to exit)"
      
except KeyboardInterrupt:
  # Reset GPIO settings
  GPIO.cleanup()

Next up a switch test python script

#!/usr/bin/python

# switch script

# http://www.mypifi.net/blog

# Import required libraries

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time

# Tell GPIO library to use GPIO references

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

print "Setup GPIO pin as input/output"

# Set Switches GPIO as input

GPIO.setup(7 , GPIO.IN)

print "Press button"

try:

  # Loop until users quits with CTRL-C

  while True :

   

    if GPIO.input(7)==1:

      print "  fishdish button has been activated!"

      time.sleep(0.5)

      print "Press a button (CTRL-C to exit)"

      

except KeyboardInterrupt:

  # Reset GPIO settings

  GPIO.cleanup()

Then i wanted some noise, this was quick:

#!/usr/bin/python

# test buzzer

# http://www.mypifi.net/blog

# Import required libraries

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time

# Tell GPIO library to use GPIO references

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Configure GPIO8 as an outout

GPIO.setup(8, GPIO.OUT)

# Turn Buzzer off

GPIO.output(8, False)

# Turn Buzzer on

GPIO.output(8, True)

# Wait 1 second

time.sleep(1)

# Turn Buzzer off

GPIO.output(8, False)

# Wait 1 second

time.sleep(1)

# Turn Buzzer on

GPIO.output(8, True)

# Wait 1 second

time.sleep(1)

# Turn Buzzer off

GPIO.output(8, False)

raw_input('Can you hear the buzzer? press enter to exit')

# Reset GPIO settings

GPIO.cleanup()

Ive also made a LED test script

#!/usr/bin/python

# This script lights all 3 LEDs, a good test script

# http://www.mypifi.net

# Import required libraries

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time

# Tell GPIO library to use GPIO references

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# List of LED GPIO numbers

LedSeq = [9,22,4]

# Set up the GPIO pins as outputs and set False

print "Setup LED pins as outputs"

for x in range(3):

    GPIO.setup(LedSeq[x], GPIO.OUT)

    GPIO.output(LedSeq[x], False)

# Light all the leds

for x in range(3):

    GPIO.output(LedSeq[x], True)    

    time.sleep(0.2)

raw_input('All leds should now be lit, press enter to exit program')

# Reset GPIO settings

GPIO.cleanup()

Lastly make the lights randomly light up, you could incorporate it to include the buzzer.

#!/usr/bin/python

# Random LED lights

# http://www.mypifi.net/blog

# Import required libraries

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time

import random

# Tell GPIO library to use GPIO references

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# List of LED GPIO numbers

LedSeq = [9,22,4]

# Set up the GPIO pins as outputs and set False

print "Setup LED pins as outputs"

for x in range(3):

  GPIO.setup(LedSeq[x], GPIO.OUT)

  GPIO.output(LedSeq[x], False)

# Seed the random number generator

random.seed()

try:

  # Loop until users quits with CTRL-C

  while True :

     

    # Turn off all 3 LEDs

    for x in range(3):

      GPIO.output(LedSeq[x], False)      

      

    # Generate random number between 0 and 2

    result = random.randint(0,2)

    print "Turn on LED : " + str(result)

    # Turn LED number X  

    GPIO.output(LedSeq[result], True)  

    # Wait

    time.sleep(0.5)

      

except KeyboardInterrupt:

  # Reset GPIO settings

  GPIO.cleanup()

If you want one, then please head over to http://www.pi-supply.com/product/fish-dish-raspberry-pi-led-buzzer-board/ to order for £9 dont forget to mention finding out about it here.

The other great thing with this add on is the extended gpio s so you could add on extra modules or incorporate it into other projects, thanks for reading I hope you enjoy this as much as me trying it.
