Welcome to Lesson 4 of the Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython - GPIO Mastery course. In this lesson, we will explore digital input and output with the Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython.
Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython - GPIO Mastery
In this lesson, you will learn:
Digital input and output (I/O) refers to the process of sending and receiving digital signals to and from a microcontroller or computer. In the case of the Raspberry Pi Pico, digital I/O is used to communicate with other devices, such as sensors, switches, and LEDs.
Digital output is the process of sending digital signals from the Raspberry Pi Pico to other devices. This can be used to control LEDs or to send signals to other devices that can be used for various purposes.
Digital input is the process of receiving digital signals from other devices. This can be used to read values from sensors or switches.
To use a pin on the Raspberry Pi Pico for digital I/O, you need to configure it as either an input or an output. This is done using the Pin class in MicroPython. To configure a pin as an input, you can use the following code:
input
output
Pin
from machine import Pin # Configure pin 0 as an input pin = Pin(0, Pin.IN)
To configure a pin as an output, you can use the following code:
from machine import Pin # Configure pin 1 as an output pin = Pin(1, Pin.OUT)
Once a pin has been configured for digital I/O, you can read and write digital values to and from it. To read the value of a digital input pin, you can use the value() method of the Pin class. For example:
from machine import Pin # Configure pin 0 as an input pin = Pin(0, Pin.IN) # Read the value of the input pin value = pin.value()
The value variable will contain the value of the input pin.
To write a digital value to a pin, you can use the value() method of the Pin class. For example:
from machine import Pin # Configure pin 1 as an output pin = Pin(1, Pin.OUT) # Set the value of the output pin to 1 pin.value(1)
This will set the value of the output pin to 1.
In this lesson, you learned about digital input and output, how to configure Raspberry Pi Pico pins for digital I/O, and how to read and write digital values using MicroPython. You can use this knowledge to communicate with other devices, such as sensors, switches, and LEDs.
After you have completed this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of digital input and output with the Raspberry Pi Pico using MicroPython. You will be able to configure pins for digital I/O, read digital values from sensors, and control digital devices such as LEDs and switches.
