the Adafruit WebIDE. There are alternaive prototyping plaforms and
products available for a higher or lower price.
The Cobbler mounted on a breadboard
Prepare for lift off
In order to get started with the prototyping, the 26-pin ribbon cable is used to connect the
GPIO interface to the Cobbler, as shown in the following image. We have to ensure that
pin 1 of the GPIO header matches pin 1 of the Adafruit Cobbler. (The Cobbler comes with a
shrouded header, and hence it is foolproof. However, pin 1 of the Raspberry Pi needs to be
matched correctly.)
