Apache Camel RaspberryPi PoC

Raspberry Pi is a small computer. It costs just 35$. Five million have been already sold worldwide. The first goal of this project was to provide a low-cost computer for electronic and computer science education. But lots of e-hobbists like me use it for personal use (domotic for example). Camel is an Enterprise Integration Patterns (a.k.a EIP) framework to connect, process and dispatch messages from and to severals technologies.

Apache Camel and Raspberry Pi integration (proof of concept)

Before, coding and wiring, just let’s take a look inside both products. Raspberry Pi is a smart computer with lots of features :

Broadcom BCM2835 - ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz
GPIO pin
I2C / SPI protocol
USB port
HDMI port
Audio output

Camel is a framework with severals features too :

Java framework from The Apache Software Foundation
lots of Input/Output protocols
HTTP, JMS, AMQP, MQTT, FTP, SSH, IMAP/POP, IRC, SMPP
lots of languages
groovy, xslt, javascript, python, php, xpath etc...
EIP implementation
message, wiretap, log, dispatch, broadcast, dead letter, splitter etc...

In this lab, we will build an simple Camel route to accept a button event from GPIO input pin and transfer it to switch a LED on and off via a GPIO output pin. Let’s start and enjoy it ;-)

Prerequisites

For this lab, you will need the following stuff :

a Raspberry Pi (Buy one)
- Tested with : B model
- Should work with : A, A+, B+, 2B
Raspbian OS installed (Download)
1 - LED
1 - Button
1 - 220 Ω (ohms) Resistor
4 - Wires
1 - Breadboard

Setup your Raspberry Pi

Be carefull with your device, please shutdown power before wiring. Check twice before powering on or you could damage your device.

Follow wiring:

Wire

You can test your wiring with wiringpi library

Install Pi4j library

First, let’s install Pi4J library.

Currently only 1.0-RC version is available directly for RaspberryPi

$> ssh ${PI_USER}@${PI_HOST}
pi@rbpi> curl -s get.pi4j.com | sudo bash

Info

you should use a Public/Private key authentication for a faster connection to your RaspberryPi.

More information about installation here

Compile Raspberry Component

Component is still under developpement. Please feel free to test and send your feed back. Some stuff could change anytime (URI for example).

The better place to build camel-raspberry component is on your personal computer. RaspberryPi is be too slow to compile.

Checkout code and build it :

$> git clone https://github.com/camel-labs/camel-labs.git
$> cd camel-labs/iot/components/camel-raspberrypi
$> mvn package -Praspberry -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Info

Camel-raspberrypi can’t be merged into Camel master branch.

You need to compile Main (tester) program

package com.github.camellabs.component.pi4j;

import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

/**
 * A simple application to run RaspberryPi Camel
 */
public final class CamelMain {

    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CamelMain.class);

    private CamelMain() {
    }

    public static class CommandLineRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {

        String[] args;

        CommandLineRouteBuilder(String[] args) {
            this.args = args;
        }

        @Override
        public void configure() throws Exception {
            from(args[0]).id("raspberrypi-route").to(Pi4jConstants.LOG_COMPONENT).to(args[1]);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        LOG.info("main");

        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
            LOG.info("args[" + i + "] =" + args[i]);
        }

        CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();

        context.addRoutes(new CommandLineRouteBuilder(args));

        context.start();
        Thread.sleep(600000);
        context.stop();
        System.exit(0);
    }

}

It needs some Camel dependencies (via Maven) to run. We have to activate raspberry maven profile and copy all dependencies to Raspberry Pi.

Copy jar and dependencies files to your Raspberry Pi

$> cd components/camel-raspberrypi
$> ssh ${PI_USER}@${PI_HOST} 'mkdir -p /home/pi/camel'
$> scp target/*.jar ${PI_USER}@${PI_HOST}:/home/pi/camel

Install program Camel Program to your Raspberry Pi

Copy log4.properties to ${PI_HOST}:/home/pi/camel directory

1st Prototype : timer + LED

The first prototype is to setup an Timer component for sending a message every second. When message is received, the RaspberryPi endpoint Producer toggles the LED via GPIO output pin.

$> ssh ${PI_USER}@${PI_HOST}

2nd Prototype : Button + LED

The second prototype is like the first one, but we remove timer endpoint to replace it with button for sending a message when pushed (HIGH state event*). When message is received, the RaspberryPi endpoint Producer toggles the LED via GPIO output pin.

Conclusion

As you can see, integration Pi4j in Camel technology was really easy. With Camel technology you can communicate with lots of other devices or servers which use HTTP, AMQP, EMAIL, MQTT etc… Raspberry Pi can integrate and assemble severals electronics protocols like i2c or SPI (coming soon into camel-raspberrypi component). RaspberryPi and Apache Camel can really rock !!!
