Raspberry Pi GPIO

GPIO stands for General Purpose Input/Output. This means that a Pin has no specific function, this concerns the IO pins. The voltage and ground pins keep their function and are not adjustable. Normally, Pins have a specific purpose such as sending a signal or receiving a signal. A GPIO Pin is adjustable and can be controlled by software. Connect your Raspberry Pi to Components, Sensors, Breadboards and more using one of the GPIO expansion boards.

Want to buy GPIO boards?

It is useful to know that the pins of the Raspberry Pi 3B+ and the new 4B have the same layout. If you need more than the standard 40 GPIO pins for your project, it is possible to expand them using an extension cable to your breadboard. This way, you will have another 40 pins, and thus more room for fun ideas for your project!

Why buy a GPIO board?

What should you consider when buying a GPIO board?

When buying a GPIO board we recommend to take a electronicsforyou.com /product/gpio-referentie-kaart/">reference card with it, you can place this card over the pins so that it is clear which pins can be adjusted (IO pins) and which cannot be adjusted (3.3/5V, GND). If these pins are not connected properly there is a chance that your motherboard will break, you can prevent this by holding a tool near the pins while wiring.
