To control these pins, [Tedbot] found two libraries: the first is WiringPi that implements a C-style, Arduino-like programming environment on the Raspi. The second is the RPi.GPIO Python package.

Not every project you make can fit into the Raspberry Pi's 26 GPIO pins, especially the more advanced applications like multi-sensor weather monitors or home automation systems.

For the lucky few who have a Raspberry Pi board in their hands, you can now use the GPIO pins as a web interface (German, google translation). [Chris] is turning this magical board is turning a ...

It also makes Raspberry Pi's new GPIO Expander software a bit more enticing. Released last month, the GPIO Extender allows easy access to those pins via a USB cable instead of using SSH.

For the Rx board, with the pins pointing towards you, wire 5V to the leftmost pin, Raspberry Pi GPIO 2 to the pin right of that, and ground to the rightmost pin.

He also cut the board's GPIO pins to 60 percent of their original height to make it compact enough for the project. The reason for trimming the Raspberry Pi is that the board is located in the ...

Manage expectations: Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ can still run basic headless services. Work within limits: Utilize lightweight tools for GPIO projects or serial tasks. Not for everyone: Avoid heavy ...
