# Raspberry Pi Dart LED Control

A minimal command-line application demonstrating GPIO control on a Raspberry Pi using Dart's FFI (Foreign Function Interface) to interact with `libgpiod` v2. This project provides an example of controlling an LED with a push button.

Tested on **Raspberry Pi 5** running **Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)**.

## Demo

[![Video Demo](https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/NhQ8_xI-70U/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://youtu.be/NhQ8_xI-70U)

## Components

- LED

- 220Ω Resistor

- Push Button

## Prerequisites

- Dart SDK installed on your Raspberry Pi.

- `libgpiod` v2 pre-installed on your Raspberry Pi (needed for GPIO access).

## Limitations

- Only compatible with 64-bit OS.

- Chip name is hard-coded to `gpiochip4` in `gpio_manager.dart`.

## Running the Application

1. **Connect the Components:**

   - Connect the LED to a GPIO pin (set to 03 (BCM) in `main.dart`).

   - Connect the push button to another GPIO pin (set to 21 (BCM) in `main.dart`).

2. **Run the Application:**

   ```bash

   dart run bin/main.dart

   ```

## Usage

- The LED will blink continuously when the button is not pressed.

- When the button is pressed, the LED remains lit continuously.

## Project Structure

- **`bin/`**: Contains the main entry point of the application.

- **`lib/`**: Contains the library code, including FFI bindings and GPIO management logic.
