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.

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 ...

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 ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts that would like to learn a little more about the GPIO pins on the Pi mini PC and how they can integrated with other electronics to build circuits and projects, will be ...

The Opto-pi Raspberry Pi board has been created to make interfacing with the 8 digital GPIO pins on the mini PC easier allowing you to connect higher current devices ...

In his continuing Pi adventures, Tom creates another edge device -- this one using a DHT22 sensor to monitor the humidity and temperature in a remote location.
