It's easy to get started writing a digital HIGH or LOW to a GPIO pin, but you've got to remember a few things:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Run your script as root
|
||
|
|
* Set your pin's mode to OUTPUT (1)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming you've installed WiringPi2-Python ( pip install wiringpi2 ) then try pasting the following into a .py file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
import wiringpi2 as wiringpi
|
||
|
|
HIGH = 1
|
||
|
|
LOW = 0
|
||
|
|
OUTPUT = 1
|
||
|
|
INPUT = 0
|
||
|
|
wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()
|
||
|
|
wiringpi.pinMode(8,OUTPUT)
|
||
|
|
wiringpi.digitalWrite(8,HIGH)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then run it with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo python myscript.py
|
||
|
|
```
