A board-level description of the 40 GPIO pins found on a Raspberry Pi. This is different than wiring pi or BCM numbering schemes. Instead, this reflects the function of pins by their physical location on the board.

Usage

rpi_pin_desc

Format

rpi_pin_desc

A data frame with 40 rows and two columns:

  • description. Primary function of the pin

  • secondary. Secondary function of the pin

  • valid_PWM_pair_1, valid_PWM_pair_2. Used by rpi_pwm() to determine valid PWM pins and channel combinations.

  • PWM_channel. Unambiguously relates the PWM channel to each board pin
