I found these awesome Raspberry Pi pinout diagrams by Pighixxx at Flickr. When I am trying to learn something new, I make my own diagrams. I have been doing some reading about safely connecting things to the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi, especially regarding Voltage and Amps. It is not as simple as one …
Assalamualaikum, Hi. I would love to share my recent project, connecting an IR receiver to Raspberry Pi’s GPIO. Warning! Playing around with Rpi’s GPIO is dangerous if you didn’t know what you’re doing. I’ll not hold any responsibility on any failure of your device while following my guide. GPIO for Rev.1 Rpi’s is different from …

I have a Raspberry Pi – this post is about beginning to explore it’s control capabilities using the General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) port and is aimed at total beginners assuming that you have already got your Raspberry Pi up and running as described in my earlier post Fire up your Raspberry Pi. Hardware The GPIO …
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to install the ScratchGPIO expansion package, how to assemble a breadboard with LEDs and buttons, and run a simple Scratch game that uses the LEDs and breadboard buttons to play. Scratch With the Raspberry Pi’s emphasis on education it makes perfect sense that Scratch is pre-installed on the …
