Class

GPIO

Name

releasePin()
Examples
import processing.io.*;
boolean ledOn = false;

void setup() {
  GPIO.pinMode(4, GPIO.OUTPUT);

  // On the Raspberry Pi, GPIO 4 is pin 7 on the pin header,
  // located on the fourth row, above one of the ground pins
  // For this particular board one could also write:
  // GPIO.pinMode(RPI.PIN7, GPIO.OUTPUT);

  frameRate(0.5);
}

void draw() {
  ledOn = !ledOn;
  if (ledOn) {
    GPIO.digitalWrite(4, GPIO.LOW);
  } else {
    GPIO.digitalWrite(4, GPIO.HIGH);
  }
}

// cleanup on keypress
void keyPressed() {
  GPIO.releasePin(4);
  exit();
}
Description Gives ownership of a pin back to the operating system

Without calling this function, the pin will remain in the current state even after the sketch has been closed.
