In this example, we will connect the
BlinkM
to the Raspberry Pi. A BlinkM is an RGB LED
that can be connected to your Raspberry Pi via the I2C interface. It is possible to execute
light scripts using the port. The connecions to the BlinkM are similar to that of the
7-segment backpack.
BlinkM connected to the Cobbler
It is important to pay atenion while connecing devices to the GPIO
header of the Raspberry Pi. If there are devices that draw a lot of current
from the GPIO pins, it may reset the Pi or permanently damage it in the
event of a short circuit. It is assumed that you are familiar with basic
electronics and capable of handling such devices.
