This is the second section of the raspberry pi weather station project. How to set up the Raspbian operating system and proxy settings are included in the section one. The main concern in section two is to give an idea about the General Purpose Input / Output ports (GPIO) in Raspberry pi. This section consists […]

Presumably everyone knows what the Raspberry Pi is, by now, so I’ll not start there. You may or may not know that the RasPi has General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins as standard. Some of these provide 3.3v power, some provide 5v power, some are grounded and the others can be used for input and output.

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
