I have a small problem: I want to use pin 13 [GPIO 27]. (pin 13 [GPIO 27] should output 3.3V)

I tried [in Shell (Putty)]:

gpio mode 13 out
gpio write 13 1

but nothing happened.

I also tried pin 40 and other pins, but it doesn't work. But with pin 7 it works.

Is my pi broken? Or what is the problem.

Many Thanks!

  • Er? What did you expect to happen? – joan Jan 1 '18 at 21:11
  • That pin 13 [GPIO 27] outputs 5V. – Alwin07 Jan 1 '18 at 21:12
  • None of the Pi's GPIO output 5V. Please edit your question and tell us what you are actually doing. – joan Jan 1 '18 at 21:18
  • Ok thanks I changed it, but I only want to turn on the pin. – Alwin07 Jan 1 '18 at 21:21
  • How do you know it doesn't work? What does gpio readall show. PS this pin is MISO – Milliways Jan 1 '18 at 22:52

When experiencing problems attempting to change GPIO the FIRST step in troubleshooting is to check what the Pi thinks the state of the pins are.

There are a number of ways of doing this gpio readall will show all pins, and you can check the state before and after.

The Pi uses (at least) 3 different methods on pin numbering gpio readall will show all.

In this case you appear to be attempting to use Physical pin numbers when gpio is expecting Wiring Pi numbering.
