This example PInvoke's the pigpio library. For more information see the PInvoke documentation and the pigpiod C interface documentation

.NET 5 drivers can be found at the .NET IoT Libraries API Reference.

The CP-IO22 pins are connected to the ComfilePi's GPIO header as shown below.

Inputs: GPIO 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16
Outputs: GPIO 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27

• Voltage Range: 12 ~ 24V
• Absolute Min/Max Voltage Range: 3.3 ~ 28V
• Response Time: 5ms
• Input OFF Level: <1.8VDC
• Input ON Level: >2.5VDC
• Indicator LED OFF Level: <4.5V

It may be necessary to modify the ComfilePi's initial GPIO output state to prevent the ComfilePi from turning the outputs ON when the ComfilePi boots.

Modify the ComfilePi's /boot/config.txt file with the following configuration to set the initial IO state. See GPIO control in config.txt for more information.

gpio=4-13=ip
gpio=16=ip
gpio=17-27=op,np,dl
