SAKS hat for raspberry_pi

SAKS = Swiss Army Knife Shield for Raspberry Pi


How other library control GPIO

wiringpi system but uses the /sys/class/gpio interface rather than accessing the hardware directly(softPwmWrite)

sprintf(fName, "/sys/class/gpio/gpio%d/value", i)

  1. /sys/class/gpio: sysfs_gpio(deprecated), gpio(deprecated), maybe not working in pi4B
  2. /dev/gpiomem or /dev/gpiochip0: rppal, wiringpi, gpio-cdev
  3. /dev/pigpio and pigpio daemon process: pigpio

Some questions need to solve

BOARD, BCM and wiringpi encoding


My raspberry_pi notes

cli tools

CPU temperature

vcgencmd measure_temp

Remap caps to backspace

setxkbmap -option caps:backspace

Setup raspberry_pi

How to connect raspberry_pi without internet/display/GUI Desktop?

  1. put empty ssh file to SD card root directory in order to enable SSH on first time boot
  2. SSH to pi via ethernet cable or serial(RS-232 with RXD+TXD+GND, don't connect 5V pin!) port
