Notes now works with embedded code sections, but the spacing is still wrong as is the language selection. Oh well, come back to it later...

1. **BCM pin numbering**
|
|
|
|
This library uses Broadcom (BCM) pin numbering for the GPIO pins, as
|
|
opposed to BOARD. Unlike the `RPi.GPIO` library, this is not configurable.
|
|
|
|
Any pin marked `GPIO` can be used for generic components.
|
|
|
|
The BCM pin layout is as follows:
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|-----------:|:-----------|
|
|
| 3V3 | 5V |
|
|
| **GPIO2** | 5V |
|
|
| **GPIO3** | GND |
|
|
| **GPIO4** | **GPIO14** |
|
|
| GND | **GPIO15** |
|
|
| **GPIO17** | **GPIO18** |
|
|
| **GPIO27** | GND |
|
|
| **GPIO22** | **GPIO23** |
|
|
| 3V3 | **GPIO24** |
|
|
| **GPIO10** | GND |
|
|
| **GPIO9** | **GPIO25** |
|
|
| **GPIO11** | **GPIO8** |
|
|
| GND | **GPIO7** |
|
|
| DNC | DNC |
|
|
| **GPIO5** | GND |
|
|
| **GPIO6** | **GPIO12** |
|
|
| **GPIO13** | GND |
|
|
| **GPIO19** | **GPIO16** |
|
|
| **GPIO26** | **GPIO20** |
|
|
| GND | **GPIO21** |
|
|
|
|
- *GND = Ground*
|
|
- *3V3 = 3.3 Volts*
|
|
- *5V = 5 Volts*
|
|
- *DNC = Do not connect (special use pins)*
|
|
|
|
2. **Wiring**
|
|
|
|
All components must be wired up correctly before using with this library.
|
|
|
|
3. **Keep your program alive with `signal.pause`**
|
|
|
|
The following program looks like it should turn an LED on:
|
|
|
|
from gpiozero import led
|
|
|
|
led = LED(2)
|
|
led.on()
|
|
|
|
And it does, if you're using the Python shell, IPython shell or IDLE shell,
|
|
but if you saved this program as a Python file and ran it, it would flash
|
|
on for a moment then the program would end and it would turn off.
|
|
|
|
The following file includes an intentional `pause` to keep the program
|
|
alive:
|
|
|
|
from gpiozero import LED
|
|
from signal import pause
|
|
|
|
led = LED(2)
|
|
led.on()
|
|
pause()
|
|
|
|
Now running the program will stay running, leaving the LED on, until it is
|
|
forced to quit.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, when setting up callbacks on button presses or other input
|
|
devices, the program needs to be running for the events to be detected:
|
|
|
|
from gpiozero import Button
|
|
from signal import pause
|
|
|
|
button = Button(2)
|
|
button.when_pressed = lambda: print("Button was pressed!")
|
|
pause()
|
