Note: This function needs to be called with root privileges. You may experience symptoms from it simply not working to segfaults and timing issues. The function must be called at the start of your program, or your program will fail to work. You can see that the only difference is how it is connected to the board. The cathode connected to the Raspberry Pi GPIO Now it's time to connect everything according to the diagram presented in the section above.
As you can see the change is just how the connected are placed. Here is the schematic connecting the anode of the LED to the Raspberry Pi GPIO. The anode connected to the Raspberry Pi GPIO Using the Pinout website for reference, we can see that we connected the LED cathode to the physical pin 11(BCM pin 17, Wiring Pi pin 0)Īnd the physical visualisation of the circuit. Here is the schematic connecting the cathode of the LED to the Raspberry Pi GPIO. To do the schematics I used Fritzing software. I have a 220ohm resistor in hand, so I will use it for this tutorial. Adding these two pieces of information in Ohm Law we can see that a resistor with a value between 165Ω and 660Ω is needed. We also know that Raspberry Pi GPIO is 3.3V. We already know that to make a LED on a current between 5~20mA is needed. To calculate the resistor value needed for this tutorial will use Ohm law: It is a resistor with a surface coated with some particular colour through which the resistance can be identified directly. In the circuit, the character "R" represents resistor, and the unit of resistance is ohm(Ω).Ī band resistor is used in this tutorial. The main function of the resistor is to limit current. When the GPIO outputs a high level, the LED is on when it outputs a low level, the LED is off. The anode of LED is connected to Raspberry Pi GPIO after a resistor, and the cathode is connected to ground (GND).
When the GPIO outputs a low level, the LED is on when it outputs high, the LED is off. The anode of the LED is connected to VCC (+3.3V), and the cathode to the Raspberry Pi GPIO. The cathode connected to the Raspberry Pi GPIO.There are two methods for connecting a LED with Raspberry Pi GPIO: Usually, needs an extra resistor for the current limitation to protect the LED. In general, the drive current for LED is really low, between 5-20mA. The colour of light depends on the materials it is made. It lights up only when a forward current passes. The LED has two electrodes, a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The LED is the abbreviation of light emitting diode. Note: you can easily find all components on Amazon or Ebay (in my case, I bought a "Raspberry Pi starter kit" containing a lot of components). 1 * Raspberry Pi (I am using Raspberry Pi 3 Model B).If you want to see the same circuit in other programming languages, please check the references section. In this article will make a LED blinking using C.
