How to correctly identify the pin addresses in the Pi4J 2.2.1 GPIO API?
There are 3 pin numbering conventions in use on the Pi; BCM, Physical (or Board) and WiringPi.
BCM is the native numbering (and is the only convention understood by the SoC).
Board numbers correspond ...

When to set internal pin resistance at software layer
That is not so good.
So the 3.3V power pin from the RPi is connected to the breadboard's top-most rail via a red jumper (note this isn't actually used by the rest of the circuit but I don't believe ...

Java and DS18B20
Pi4J has released a 1-Wire API in version 1.1. It's no longer a SNAPSHOT version.
W1Master master = new W1Master();
List<W1Device> w1Devices = master.getDevices(TmpDS18B20DeviceType.FAMILY_CODE)...

Enabling of I2C-0 via "dtparam=i2c_vc=on" on Pi 3B+ causes "I2C-10" & "I2C-11" to appear and disables GPIO 10 GPIO 11
The documentation states
i2c_vc Set to "on" to enable the i2c interface
usually reserved for the VideoCore processor

How to correctly identify the pin addresses in the Pi4J 2.2.1 GPIO API?
Pi4J version 2 uses Broadcom numbering for the GPIO.
You should be using 7 (to identify GPIO 7).

Issues with Shift Registers and 8-Channel Relay on the Pi
I'm aware this was posted last Dec 2015. Just thought of sharing what I found to be the culprit of this problem. The CLEAR pin was not connected at all, so when I put it on HIGH, the problem went away ...

"Outside Function" issue with code when building a Reverse Park Sensor
In your code, the return command is placed outside the get_distance function. The return command can only be used when it is in a function, so it returns the output of the function you specify. When ...

Java pi4j app crashes on exit()
I seem to have solved the problem. The problem with the I2C is that the reserved id "my-i2c-bus" can be applied only once to a Pi4J Context. Using a new instance of the Context for each I2C ...

What can I do to get the Pi4J library to work with Java?
I finally resolved the issue. I am not using Pi4J.
I wrote a simple Python script that takes care of the GPIO behavior of the system that I designed and called the script from Java. (I was not about ...

My Raspberry Pi B+ has the Ri 2 B pinmap
Looks to me you're mixing up pin numbering schemes.
The B+ image above shows BCM (Broadcom) scheme.
The second one is the wiringPi (and implicitly Pi4J) scheme (notice the text at the bottom of the ...

I suggest you first find out if the software or the hardware is at fault.
With that in mind I suggest the following steps.

pi4j implementation for SPI communications with MCP3008 reading zeros
When using the SPI peripheral, rather than bitbanging it, you have to follow the documentation.
On the Raspberry Pi 3, there is one SPI bus, with two (and only two) connections. The pins needed are:

When to set internal pin resistance at software layer
When a GPIO set as an input has no definite voltage attached it is said to be floating and will randomly return 0 or 1.
The purpose of the internal pull-ups and pull-downs is to stop a GPIO set as an ...
