:alt: Code Coverage
A simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi.
Created by `Ben Nuttall`_ of the `Raspberry Pi Foundation`_, `Dave Jones`_, and
other contributors.
About
=====
Component interfaces are provided to allow a frictionless way to get started
with physical computing::
from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep
led = LED(17)
while True:
led.on()
sleep(1)
led.off()
sleep(1)
With very little code, you can quickly get going connecting your components
together::
from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause
led = LED(17)
button = Button(3)
button.when_pressed = led.on
button.when_released = led.off
pause()
The library includes interfaces to many simple everyday components, as well as
some more complex things like sensors, analogue-to-digital converters, full
colour LEDs, robotics kits and more.
Install
=======
