Experiment: 2
Student Name: Amir Philip Adam UID: 22BEC10019
Branch: Electronics and Communication Section/Group: 22BEC-2/A
Semester: 6th Date of Performance:13/01/25
Subject Name: Raspberry Pi and its Interfacing
Subject Code: 22ECH-321

1. Aim of the practical:Interfacing LED with Raspberry Pi and Writing a


Program to Turn ON LED for 1 Second After Every 2 Seconds
2. Tool Used/Components:

 Raspberry Pi SBC Model (with microSD card slot).


 MicroSD card (32 GB or higher, preloaded with Raspberry Pi OS).
 HDMI cable and compatible monitor.
 USB keyboard and mouse.
 Power supply (5V, 3A).
 Breadboard.
 Jumper wires.
 5mm LED.
 220-ohm resistor (to limit current).

3.Theory:
The General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins on Raspberry Pi allow hardware control and
interfacing. A basic example of GPIO functionality is turning an LED ON and OFF.

 Digital Output: Raspberry Pi GPIO pins can output HIGH (3.3V) or LOW (0V) states.
 LED Operation: A digital HIGH state can illuminate an LED connected through a current-
limiting resistor. Toggling the state in a time sequence can create a blinking effect.

4. Circuit Diagram:
 Connect the longer leg (anode) of the LED to a GPIO pin (e.g., GPIO 2) via a 330 Ω resistor.
 Connect the shorter leg (cathode) of the LED to the GND pin of the Raspberry Pi.

Fig 2.1 shows the circuit for interfacing an LED with Raspberry Pi 5.

5. Proceedures
 Connect the components as per the circuit diagram.
 Open any code editor or IDE eg Thonny,Nano or VS Code.
 Open terminal and run the command: sudo apt install python3 gpiozero.
 Write the Python program to control the LED.
 Save the Python code with .py extension.
 Run the programming by the command sudo python3 file_name.py

6. Code

A.Code to blink through looping

from gpiozero import LED


from time import sleep

led=LED(2)
try:
while True:
led.on()
sleep(1)
led.off()
sleep(2)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
Print(“Program stopped by the user”)

B. Code to blink LED with user command

from gpiozero import LED


from time import sleep

# Initialize the LED on GPIO pin 2


led = LED(2)

try:
while True:
signal = int(input("Enter the signal (0 or 1): "))
if signal == 1:
led.on() # Turn LED ON
print("LED is ON")
elif signal == 0:
led.off()
print("LED is OFF")

else:
print("Invalid signal, please enter 0 or 1")
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Program stopped by the user")
finally:
led.close()
