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.
Component interfaces are provided to allow a frictionless way to get started with physical computing:
from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep
led = LED(17)
while True:
led.on()
sleep(1)
led.off()
sleep(1)With very little code, you can quickly get going connecting your components together:
from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause
led = LED(17)
button = Button(3)
button.when_pressed = led.on
button.when_released = led.off
pause()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, update your repositories list:
sudo apt-get update
Then install the package of your choice. Both Python 3 and Python 2 are supported. Python 3 is recommended:
sudo apt-get install python3-gpiozero
or:
sudo apt-get install python-gpiozero
Comprehensive documentation is available at https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/.
