Rushi Gajjar

Rushi Gajjar is an entrepreneur, embedded systems hardware developer and a lifetime electronics enthusiast. He works in the field of research and development of high-speed single-board embedded computers and wireless sensor nodes for the Internet of Things. Prior to that, his extensive work as a freelancer in the domain of electronics hardware design introduced him to rapid prototyping development boards and single board embedded computers such as the Raspberry Pi. In the spare time, he loves to develop the projects on Raspberry Pi including sensors, imaging, data logging, web-servers, and machine learning automation systems. He authored a DIY and hardware based book titled Raspberry Pi Sensors which takes deep dive in developing sensor interfacing based projects with Raspberry Pi. His vision encompasses connecting every entity in world to the Internet for enhancing the human living experience. https://www.linkedin.com/in/rushigajjarhttp://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-Sensors-Rushi-Gajjar/dp/1784393614/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1453884207&sr=8-9&keywords=raspberry+Pi+Sensorshttp://rushigajjar.blogspot.in/

It's time to glow LEDs!

Let's gather some components and wires first. You need a standard LED (one piece, forward voltage, and 3.3V), wires (one red and one black, with a 2.54 mm female-to-female jumper wire connector), an Ethernet cable, your PC, and the RasPi+.

The standard setup that we had all the time and we will follow is PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) with PuTTY or the terminal installed. There is also the Ethernet connection of the PC with the RasPi, with the entire configuration and setup explained in Chapter 1, Meeting Your Buddy – the Raspberry Pi. What I assume now is that your PC is running a live session with the RasPi. Take the LED in your hand and carefully observe that among the two terminals, one terminal is longer than the other; this is the positive (anode) terminal of the LED. The shorter terminal on LED is negative (ground) and it should be connected to pin 6 (GND) of the RasPi. Carefully connect the positive terminal to pin 11 (BCM GPIO 17, refer to GPIO table). Using the wire...
