Raspberry PI A+, B+ and 2B GPIO J8 40-pin pinout. Raspberry PI Models A and B have only the first 26 pins. GPIO# 2nd func pin# pin# 2nd func GPIO# – +3V3 1 2 +5V – GPIO2 SDA1 (I2C) 3 4 +5V – GPIO3 SCL1…
In this example we will connect a capacitive sensor to a GPIO pin on our Raspberry PI, when we touch the sensor we will display a message to the user. A practical use may be a touch activated lamp. This is the sensor we used…
Flash the ACT led from the command line, this tip was sent to me so I gave it a try, you could this in a script. The LED in question is seen below, this may depend on the version of Raspberry PI you have as…
