IoT LED Control with Raspberry Pi and IPFS

This project demonstrates how to control an LED connected to a Raspberry Pi using IPFS pub-sub for decentralized messaging.

Features

• Remote control of LEDs using IPFS.
• Uses Raspberry Pi GPIO for hardware interaction.
• Fully open-source and beginner-friendly.

Requirements

• Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (or any Raspberry Pi model with GPIO pins).
• LED.
• Internet connection.
• Python 3.x.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/t-manojkumar/ipfs-led-control.git
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Start IPFS daemon:

   ipfs daemon --enable-pubsub-experiment
   

4. Run the script:

   python main.py
   

5. Control the LED:

   • To turn the LED ON:

     echo ON | ipfs pubsub pub led-control
     

   • To turn the LED OFF:

     echo OFF | ipfs pubsub pub led-control
