Share Description
In this course you will learn:
- How to use the GPIO to control lights and motors, read data from sensors, and interact with the Internet of Things.
- How to go deep into WiringPi, a GPIO access library, to experiment with pulse width modulation.
- How to control input and output through GPIO pins, you'll open up a whole new world of electronics.
