[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/djthorpe/gopi/tree/v3.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/djthorpe/gopi/tree/v3)

This repository contains an application framework for the Go language, which will allow you to develop applications which utilize a number of features of your computer. It's targetted at the Raspberry Pi presently. The following features are intended to be supported:

* The GPIO, I2C and SPI interfaces
* Font loading and rendering in bitmap and vector forms
* Infrared transmission and receiving, for example for remote controls
* Network microservices, announcement and discovery using mDNS and gRPC

It would also be great to support the following features in the future:

* Image and video encoding/decoding, including utilizing hardware
acceleration
* GPU acceleration for 2D graphics
* 3D graphics
* Audio devices
* Input devices like the mouse, keyboard and touchscreen
* Display and display surfaces, bitmaps and vector graphics
* Connected cameras
* User interface widgets and layout
* Building for Darwin \(Macintosh\) targets

## Requirements

The tested requirements are currently:

* Any Raspberry Pi \(v2, v3, v4, Zero and Zero W have been tested\)
* Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 \(other distributions may work, but not tested\)
* Go 1.13

In order to use the library, you'll need to have a working version of Go on your Raspberry Pi, which you can [download](https://golang.org/dl/). Then retrieve the library on your device, using:

```bash
go get github.com/djthorpe/gopi/v3
```

Some libraries will need to be installed for building, RPC and Media services.
In order to satisfy these dependencies,

```bash
sudo apt install make protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev
```

Other dependencies will be satisfied when running the `make` command.

## Getting Started

In order to get started, build some of the examples in the "cmd" folder. They can be built with the makefile.

* `make all` will build the example commands into the `build` folder;
* `make test` runs all tests for the `pkg` folder;
* `make debian` will create `.deb` packages which can be distributed;
* `make clean` removes build intermediate files.

Fuller documentation of the examples and developing your own code against this
framework will be available in [documentation](https://gopi.mutablelogic.com/).
