GPIO stands for General Purpose Input Output and can be used to receive and send digital signals to and from simple electronics from the Raspberry Pi.

Components need too many GPIO pins

Note that the discharge current is all going through the GPIO pin, so a more conservative design would do some current limiting, but this was simple and cheap. … Then the GPIO is set to be an input and we measure the time it takes for the resistor to charge up to a value that the input considers "high". …

GPIO pins not changing value

/export # make it an output pin sudo echo "out" /sys/class/gpio/gpio20/direction # turn the LED on sudo echo "1" /sys/class/gpio/gpio20/value # turn the LED off sudo echo "0" /sys/class/gpio/gpio20/value … Note that the cathode of the LED (shorter leg, also facing flat side of LED) must be connected toward the ground side and the anode (longer leg) toward the GPIO pin. …

"Blinking" relay by toggling pins between input and output

The Pi's GPIO is only 3.3V. A bad solution (do NOT do this!) … Pi GPIO The GPIO pins on the Pi, like most processors, can be thought of as a pair of FETs and a pair of diodes something like this: simulate this circuit The complementary FETs M1 and M2 provide the …
