This is a Raspberry Pi project I did a few months ago and meant to post somewhere. There is a Perl interface to the WiringPi module. It's available from https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Perl. Unfortunately it doesn't come with any examples, but the WiringPi module comes with some nice examples.

Broadcom Wireless

Posted 08-04-2013 at 02:45 PM by rokytnji
