What Are The GPIO Pins on Raspberry Pi? A great feature on the Raspberry Pi is the GPIO pins (stands for General Purpose Input Output). These GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi can be found in 2×13 header pins which can perform tasks include SPI, I2C, serial UART, 3V3 and 5V power. There are eight of these pins can …
How To Use GPIO Pins On Raspberry Pi – Buttons And LED Tutorial Continue Reading
In a previous post I wrote about how you can control the function of the Raspberry Pi’s software through writing scripts, but one of the remarkable things about the Pi is that it is also capable of interacting with the physical world through its GPIO pins. GPIO stands for ‘General Purpose Input/Output’ and this refers to the 25 …

In this project the Raspberrypi board is loaded with Ubuntu and is remotely accessed using VNC. The Raspberrypi board is also connected to the internet. Downloading and installing the fourth version, QT4 using commands are already discussed in a previous article. There is another article which discusses about how to start with programming in QT, …
If you ever find yourself running out of GPIO pins on a RaspberryPi you can put multiple pushbutton switches on a single pin using this method. It sets a variable by timing the charging of a capacitor through a series of resistors with the switches between them. You will need a RaspberryPi, a breadboard, and …
