A simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi.
Created by Ben Nuttall of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Dave Jones, and other contributors.
The latest release is v0.9.0 beta 4 released on 25th October 2015.
With very little code, you can quickly get going connecting your physical components together:
from gpiozero import LED, Button led = LED(2) button = Button(3) button.when_pressed = led.on button.when_released = led.off
The library includes interfaces to many simple everyday components, as well as some more complex things like sensors, analogue-to-digital converters, full colour LEDs, robotics kits and more.
First, install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python3-pip python-spidev python3-spidev
Install with pip:
sudo pip install gpiozero sudo pip-3.2 install gpiozero
Both Python 3 and Python 2 are supported. Python 3 is recommended!
Comprehensive documentation is available at pythonhosted.org/gpiozero.
