GPIO Basics with LED light - Raspberry Pi and Python tutorials p.6

In this Raspberry Pi tutorial, we’re going to be introducing and using the GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) pins on our boards. These pins are directly connected to our Broadcom chip, so this is a “proceed at your own risk“ tutorial. You can fry your Pi with a simple mistake plugging into the wrong pin. That said, most of the awesome functionality of the Raspberry Pi comes from these pins, so it’s a rewarding thing to learn. Text-based version of this series: sentdex
