GPIO

GPIO, or General Purpose Input/Output, is a feature of microcontrollers that facilitates communication and control of peripherals. It allows for digital inputs and outputs, as well as handling analog signals, with flexible configurations for pin usage. GPIO pins are software-controllable and are labeled according to official documentation for easy identification.

GPIO stands for General Purpose

Input/Output, which is a feature on


microcontrollers that allows for
communication with and control of
peripherals and components. GPIO pins can
be used for a variety of functions, including:
Digital inputs: Receiving signals from switches,
buttons, and other devices
Digital outputs: Controlling actuators, LED
states, and more
Analog signals: Amplifying audio, radio
communication, and sensor readings
Here are some key characteristics of GPIO:
Flexibility: GPIO pins can be used as either an
input or an output, or both. For example, if a
GPIO has eight pins, they can be configured as
four input and four output, or seven input and
one output, or any other combination.
Conversions: GPIO handles the conversion
between the digital values (0s and 1s) used by
programs and the signal levels (LOW and
HIGH voltage) used by external devices.
Software control: GPIOs are controllable by
software and have no predefined purpose.
Pin labels: GPIO pins are labeled with the pin's
number in the official documentation.
