The GPIO pins on the Raspi are arranged in a 2×13 header. Until Sparkfun manages to manufacture a decent Raspi protoboard, the easiest way to break these pins out is with an old IDE ribbon cable.

The Raspberry Pi is a great machine to learn the ins and outs of blinking pins, but for doing anything that requires blinking pins fast, you’re better off going with a BeagleBone.This has been ...

The Raspberry Pi Opto-pi board has been created to make interfacing with the 8 digital GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi mini PC much easier. Allowing you to connect higher current devices as well as ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts that would like to learn a little more about the GPIO pins on the Pi mini PC and how they can integrated with other electronics to build circuits and projects, ...

One of the biggest draws of the Raspberry Pi family of single board computers or SBCs is their expandability. That comes via the standard 40-pin GPIO header on the full-sized boards.

If you’ve ever wanted a simple, automated way to schedule pet feeding reminders or alerts, the Pico 2 W can help. This project involves using a small servo to trigger a chute, latch, or gravity-fed ...

Two 5v pins are powered directly from the Pi's power supply, and two 3.3v pins are regulated down to this common voltage, leaving you with 31 unique pins and 28 true GPIO pins.

For the Tx, with the pins facing you, attach the Raspberry Pi GPIO 0 to the leftmost pin, 5V to the middle, and ground to the right pin. Ground and 5V are from the Raspberry Pi, and the pins may ...

Newbies sometimes have trouble getting their Raspberry Pi to show up properly on a monitor or TV. This usually happens because the Pi’s default HDMI settings don’t always match the display. Common ...

The Raspberry Pi board has a 40-pin GPIO header on it that needs through-hole soldering, along with bits like the Ethernet and USB ports. These require robust solder joints, ...
