So while the Gertboard has LEDs and buttons, it’s really intended to be used to safely connect the Pi to external devices, and to do this we need to look closer at what it provides. There are 12 buffered pins … Continue reading

NOTE: 11/2/2013: WORK IN PROGRESS – Things liable to change! These pages serve as a demonstration of using the Gertboard with the wiringPi library from the command-line, in C and BASIC. There are several pages in this series and I … Continue reading
If you are familiar with the Arduno IDE on any other platform, then there should not be any surprises using it on the Raspberry Pi with the Gertboard. There is one notable thing you need to do to make it … Continue reading
The printing on the Gertboard indicated the port and pin numbers internal to the Atmega microcontroller… However this is normally hidden from the user by the Arduino’s “wiring” library and rather than refer to (e.g.) Port B, bit 5, you’d … Continue reading
The Gertboard is an add-on GPIO expansion and experimenter board for the Raspberry Pi computer. It comes with a large variety of components, including buttons, LEDs, A/D and D/A converters, a motor controller, and an ATmel ATmegs 328p AVR microcontroller … Continue reading
Much excitement here at Drogon towers as I have a new Raspberry Pi – the model B+ So what’s a B+ and how does it differ from the B? Here is a quick list of the main differences: USB: 4 … Continue reading
Some information about the Gertboard – programming, using the ATmega48p and so on. The Gertduino – there’s a Raspberry Pi under there somewhere! Note that the board I have is an early version fitted with the switch modes power supply … Continue reading
The Atmegas on the Gertduino are programmed using Avrdude in the same way the ATmega on the Gertboard is programmed. A few minir differences to the Gertboard though – the main ATmega 388p runs at 16MHz to be 100% compatibile … Continue reading
Did you know that the 8 inputs on the PiFace can be used as outputs too? Well they can, and this is something that I understand the boffins in Manchester who designed it had in-mind too… So in-between barbecues this … Continue reading
After some months of testing and time away due to family issues, a short holiday and what-not, wiringPi v2 has been pushed to the GIT repository and is now released! Additionally, it now has its own website: http://wiringpi.com/ Changes: 100′s. … Continue reading
