Lab Manual: Interfacing LED and Push Button with Raspberry Pi

Objective:

To interface an LED and a push button with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and control the LED using

Python programming.

Components Required:

- Raspberry Pi (any model with GPIO) - 1

- LED - 1

- Push Button - 1

- Resistors (220 Ohm for LED, 10k Ohm for pull-down) - 2

- Breadboard - 1

- Jumper Wires - As required

- Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and SD Card (with RPi OS) - 1 set

GPIO Pin Configuration:

- LED - GPIO27 (Pin 13)

- Button - GPIO17 (Pin 11)

Python Code:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO


import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

LED_PIN = 27
BUTTON_PIN = 17

GPIO.setup(LED_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(BUTTON_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN)

print("Press the button to turn ON the LED...")

try:
while True:
if GPIO.input(BUTTON_PIN) == GPIO.HIGH:
GPIO.output(LED_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
print("LED ON")
else:
GPIO.output(LED_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
print("LED OFF")
time.sleep(0.1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Program stopped")

finally:
GPIO.cleanup()

Procedure:

1. Connect the LED and resistor in series to GPIO27 and GND.

2. Connect one terminal of the button to GPIO17 and the other to GND.

3. Use a 10k Ohm pull-down resistor between GPIO17 and GND.

4. Boot Raspberry Pi and open the terminal.

5. Create a Python script using: nano led_button.py

6. Paste the Python code and save (Ctrl + O, Enter, Ctrl + X).

7. Run the script: python3 led_button.py

8. Press the push button and observe the LED behavior.

Expected Result:

When the push button is pressed, the LED turns ON. When the button is released, the LED turns

OFF.

Learning Outcomes:

- Understanding of GPIO pin configuration on Raspberry Pi.

- Use of Python to control hardware peripherals.

- Practical implementation of pull-down resistor logic.

- Real-time response to input signals.

Precautions:

- Ensure correct GPIO pin mapping to avoid short circuits.

- Do not connect LED directly without a current-limiting resistor.

- Handle GPIO pins carefully to avoid hardware damage.
