"Introduction to Pi GPIO " by Max Vizard
Level: Beginner-Intermediate

A brief introduction to using the GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi to interact with the physical world, with simple code samples and hardware demos. This will cover simple IO, PWM, I2C and using NPN transistors to switch bigger loads, with example use cases from my current Pi project, a live Tweeting scoreboard.

He is currently employed as an intern software developer at Demonware and in his spare time likes to tinker with electronics, play computer games and tend to his garden.

We will head to The Gasworks after the talks.
