pigpio
A Node.js wrapper for the pigpio C library enabling fast GPIO, PWM, servo control, and interrupt handling on Raspberry Pi.
What is pigpio?
pigpio is a Node.js library that provides a high-performance interface to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO hardware, enabling precise control of digital I/O, PWM, servos, and interrupts. It solves the need for low-latency, accurate timing in robotics, IoT, and hardware prototyping projects by wrapping the pigpio C library with a Node.js API.
Developers building robotics, IoT devices, or hardware projects on Raspberry Pi who need precise timing and control over GPIO pins from Node.js applications.
Developers choose pigpio for its microsecond-accurate timing, high performance (millions of operations per second), and comprehensive feature set—including PWM, servo control, and interrupt handling—all accessible through a clean Node.js API.
