input.c

Reads the state of an RPi input pin

// input.c
//
// Example program for bcm2835 library
// Reads and prints the state of an input pin
//
// After installing bcm2835, you can build this 
// with something like:
// gcc -o input input.c -l bcm2835
// sudo ./input
//
// Or you can test it before installing with:
// gcc -o input -I ../../src ../../src/bcm2835.c input.c
// sudo ./input
