#About this project

This project aims to build a consistent workflow behind the Pinout.xyz front-end, gather useful information about the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface and add-on boards, and invite board manufacturers to produce their own "overlay" files which describe which pins their Pi add-ons use.

We hope that by making this project open and extensible we will invite not only contributions of board pinouts, but translations too.

#Contributing

If you have a board you'd like to contribute, raise an issue and we'll consider it!

If you've spotted an error, ommission or have a suggestion then you're welcome to do the same.

#Translating

The contents of this GitHub repository are used to build http://pinout.xyz and its translated subdomains.

Maintainers: @Gadgetoid and @RogueM

GPIO Zero code examples by: @bennuttall

Notable contributions:

If you would like to provide support for a language not yet in the repository you should start by duplicating the src/en directory to the appropriate language-code. For example, if you want to create a German translation you would create the folder src/de.

There are no plans to support cultures (it would just get out of hand!), so you can't have src/fr-CA ( sorry! ).

Once you've made your translation, build and preview it with, for example:

make serve LANG=de

And then open: http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser.

Please do not attempt to translate the /resources folder, this is shared between sites on the server and should be generic.

Feel free to modify the template with links relevant to your country, and / or your Twitter handle, but don't fiddle with the structure!

Submit your finished translation as a pull request and we'll get it live on its own <languagecode>.pinout.xyz subdomain :)

#Roadmap & wishlist

  • Redesign HTML generation and unify HTML templates into a single, translatable file
  • Add functionality to compare two or more boards, to visualise pin compatibility
  • Tool to convert WiringPi to GPIO to BCM and back
  • Add as many boards as possible!
