What’s Next?

GPIO(General Purpose Input Output)

● 40 pins of wonderment○ 8 Ground pins○ 2 +3.3v pins (50 mA max)○ 2 +5v pins (direct current from power supply )○ 28 digital pins 3.3v “high” (50 mA max)

● Three different naming schemes○ Broadcom (BCM) chip numbers○ Physical header position○ Wiring Pi Numbers



● Cobbler (breakout) board● Solderless Breadboard● Red LED● 330 Ohm resistor● Hook in series between

digital pin and ground

Pi4J

● Java-based library for interacting with GPIO pins● Wraps “native” JNI calls to C library● Easy to use from CFML!

Yum!!
