GPIO and Touch Pins

2 min read

LionBit provides access to GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) pins and touch pins, offering the flexibility to expand the capabilities of your projects by connecting external sensors, devices, and components. Here’s an overview of these features:

1. GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output) Pins:

  • GPIO pins are versatile pins on the LionBit development board that can be individually configured as inputs or outputs. They are labeled with numbers (e.g., GPIO0, GPIO1, etc.) and can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as:

  • Digital Input: Read digital signals (high or low) from sensors, buttons, switches, and more.

  • Digital Output: Control digital devices, like LEDs, relays, or motors.

  • Analog Input: Measure analog voltages for tasks like reading temperature or light levels.

  • PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Output: Generate PWM signals for controlling the intensity of LEDs, servos, and other components.

  • To use GPIO pins in your project, you can configure them and interact with them through your development environment (e.g., Arduino IDE, PlatformIO) using the LionBit library. This library simplifies the process of working with GPIO pins by providing easy-to-use functions.

2. Touch Pins:

  • LionBit also offers touch-sensitive pins that can detect touch or proximity. These pins enable you to create interactive projects and are particularly useful for user interfaces and proximity sensing.
  • Touch pins can be used to trigger actions based on touch events, such as controlling lighting, playing sound, or changing the display content when someone interacts with your project.
  • Similar to GPIO pins, touch pins can be configured and interacted with through the LionBit library, making it easy to incorporate touch functionality into your projects.

By utilizing the GPIO and touch pins, you can greatly expand the functionality of your LionBit projects. These pins offer the ability to connect a wide range of external components and sensors, allowing you to create custom, interactive, and sensor-driven applications tailored to your specific needs. The flexibility provided by these pins is a key advantage when working with LionBit.
