Pigeon Tool

Pigeon Tool is a program designed to facilitate the convenient reading of inputs and setting of outputs for Pigeon computers.

To download and execute the program, follow these commands:

wget www.pigeoncomputers.com/files/pigeon-tool
chmod u+x pigeon-tool
sudo ./pigeon-tool

If the operations were successful, you should observe the following information:

Usage: pigeon-tool [options]

Options:
--all read all inputs and display device information
--i1 read optoisolated input I1
--i2 read optoisolated input I2
--i3 read optoisolated input I3
--i4 read optoisolated input I4
--i5 read optoisolated input I5
--i6 read optoisolated input I6
--i7 read optoisolated input I7
--i8 read optoisolated input I8
--id1 read dry contact input ID1
--id2 read dry contact input ID2
--id3 read dry contact input ID3
--id4 read dry contact input ID4
--bo1 set binary output O1
--bo2 set binary output O2
--bo3 set binary output O3
--bo4 set binary output O4
--bo5 set binary output O5
--bo6 set binary output O6
--bo7 set binary output O7
--bo8 set binary output O8
--ao1 set analog output AO1
--ao2 set analog output AO2
--ai1 read analog input AI1
--ai2 read analog input AI2
--ai3 read analog input AI3
--ai4 read analog input AI4

where:
BOOL = 0 or 1
FLOAT = 0.00 - 10.00

Examples:
pigeon-tool --bo1 1 set binary output O1 to 1
pigeon-tool --ao1 5.00 set analog output AO1 to 5.00V
pigeon-tool --i1 read binary input I1
pigeon-tool --id1 read dry contact ID1
pigeon-tool --ai1 read analog input AI1

For instance, running the program with the option --all will read all inputs and display information about the device:
