Programming Examples

Get started with Box PC development using these practical code examples for common industrial applications.

GPIO Control (Python)

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Setup GPIO
gpio_pin = 18
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(gpio_pin, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        # Turn on output
        GPIO.output(gpio_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
        print("Output ON")
        time.sleep(1)
        
        # Turn off output
        GPIO.output(gpio_pin, GPIO.LOW)
        print("Output OFF")
        time.sleep(1)
        
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("Exiting...")
    GPIO.cleanup()

Control digital outputs for industrial automation, relay switching, and status indication.

Serial Communication (C++)

#include <serial/serial.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    try {
        serial::Serial my_serial("/dev/ttyS0", 9600);
        
        if (my_serial.isOpen()) {
            std::cout << "Serial port opened" << std::endl;
            
            // Send data
            my_serial.write("Hello Industrial Device!");
            
            // Receive data
            std::string response = my_serial.read(100);
            std::cout << "Received: " << response << std::endl;
        }
    } catch (const std::exception& e) {
        std::cerr << "Error: " << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    
    return 0;
}
