A simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi

Project description

A simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi.

Created by Ben Nuttall of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Dave Jones, and other contributors.

Latest release

The latest release is 1.0 released on 16th November 2015.

About

Component interfaces are provided to allow a frictionless way to get started with physical computing:

from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep

led = LED(2)

while True:
    led.on()
    sleep(1)
    led.off()
    sleep(1)

With very little code, you can quickly get going connecting your components together:

from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause

led = LED(2)
button = Button(3)

button.when_pressed = led.on
button.when_released = led.off

pause()

The library includes interfaces to many simple everyday components, as well as some more complex things like sensors, analogue-to-digital converters, full colour LEDs, robotics kits and more.

Install

First, install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-pip python3-pip python-spidev python3-spidev

Install with pip:

sudo pip install gpiozero
sudo pip-3.2 install gpiozero

Both Python 3 and Python 2 are supported. Python 3 is recommended!
