Raspberry Pi
Circuit Connection
Program Execution
Python
- Install the gpiozero library
- You can use the following command to install the library:
sudo apt update sudo apt install python3-gpiozero
- For other systems on the Raspberry Pi, you can use the following command to install the library:
sudo pip3 install gpiozero
- Run the following command to view the GPIO pin definitions on the Raspberry Pi:
pinout
- Enable the SPI interface
sudo raspi-config Select Interfaces oOptions -> SPI -> “Would you like the SPI interface to be enabled? ”Select Yes -> “The SPI interface is enabled” Select Yes -> Select finish
- Shut down the Raspberry Pi. With the power off, connect the corresponding modules to the circuit according to the provided circuit connection, and then start the Raspberry Pi.
- Download the Raspberry Pi reference example, unzip the file, copy it to the user directory, and run it:
cd /home/pi/raspberrypi/27/python_gpiozero python sensor.py
- You will see the Raspberry Pi continuously printing the voltage value of the potentiometer. To exit, press ctrl+C.
- For more commands, please refer to the gpiozero documentation
