| + | Please note this category also makes use of a custom Namespace. | ||

| + | The pinout for the RaspberryPi is shown below. Note that some pins have special uses. This pins may not be able to be used as GPIO. Note that the header has a notch to indicate pin 1. It’s also important to note the difference board numbering and BCM numbering. Board numbering is the pin count on the headers, i.e. the number shown in the circle in the image. BCM stands for Broadcom SOC channel - and refers to the GPIO number in the descriptions next to number in the circle. For example, board number 3 is GPIO 2, and board number 33 is GPIO number 13. Some pins have special functions. | ||

| + | === Board Modes === | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Raspberry Pi has a number of “board modes” depending on which library you use for development. You can only use one board numbering system (BOARD or GPIO) per project, and you usually need to configure this using a method made available in the library. Some of these modes include: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * BCM Mode<br /> | ||
| + | This is the pin numbering that is tied to the Broadcom chip that powers the Raspberry Pi. | ||
| + | * GPIO/Physical Mode<br /> | ||
| + | This is the pin numbering that matches the physical pin numbering of the header. | ||
| + | * WiringPi numbering<br /> | ||
| + | WiringPi is a library for writing C/C++ applications on the Raspberry Pi. It has it’s own unique pin numbering. It includes a useful function for viewing all the pinouts, numbering, and what their current state is. A screenshot of this function is shown in Figure [fig:gpio-readall]. | ||

| + | For details on installing and configuring the operating system, see [[RaspberryPi:Installation]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Raspbian === | ||
| + | Raspian is the default operating system from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. There are three versions available: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ; Raspbian with desktop and recommended software : This is a large image, containing packages for a desktop environment and other (often not useful) packages | ||
| + | ; Raspbian with desktop : Contains a desktop environment and useful packages | ||
| + | ; Raspbian Lite : A simple OS without desktop environment (just a command line interface) | ||
| + | |||
| + | The latest versions of Raspbian can be downloaded directly from the [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Raspberry Pi Website] | ||
