The gpio is the most basic yet accessible aspect of the raspberry pi.
Gpio header pins.
However did you know that they are configurable.
Here is the raspberry pi 4 default gpio pinout for the 40 pin j8 header.
Prior to the pi 1 model b 2014 boards comprised a shorter 26 pin header.
These allow a massive range of sensors motors leds and accessories to be connected to the pi.
Gpio pins are digital which means they can have two states off or on.
Gpio general purpose input output aka bcm or broadcom.
A 40 pin gpio header is found on all current raspberry pi boards unpopulated on pi zero and pi zero w.
The raspberry pi zero comes with a 40 pin general purpose input output gpio header that is arranged in two rows of 20 pins.
They can have a direction to receive or send current.
This is the configuration of the pins as you ll receive it when you first boot up raspbian or noobs with raspbian.
Physical or board correspond to the pin s physical location on the header.
Pwm pulse width modulation i2c.
The gpio header is used to interface sensors control actuators and interface appliances.
Wiringpi for gordon henderson s wiring pi library.
These are the big numbers e g.
Raspberry pi 40 pin gpio header.
Jetson xavier nx gpio header j12 pinout by default i2c and uart pins are assigned.
The raspberry pi zero s gpio interface is shipped without a soldered header.
Geeekpi micro connectors raspberry pi 40 pin gpio 1 to 2 expansion board 2 x 20 pin strip dual male header double row straight gpio connector pin header compatible with raspberry pi 5 0 out of 5 stars 3.
You ll use these with rpi gpio and gpio zero.
A powerful feature of the raspberry pi is the row of gpio general purpose input output pins along the top edge of the board.
The gpio header also consists of.
Pins labeled with other functions below are suggested functions.
The gpio header provides the following power and interface options.
3 3v on 2 pins 5v on 2 pins ground on 8 pins general purpose input and output.
