A simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi.

Created by Ben Nuttall of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Dave Jones, and other contributors.

The latest release is 1.0 released on 16th November 2015.

With very little code, you can quickly get going connecting your physical components together:

from gpiozero import LED, Button

led = LED(2)
button = Button(3)

button.when_pressed = led.on
button.when_released = led.off

The library includes interfaces to many simple everyday components, as well as some more complex things like sensors, analogue-to-digital converters, full colour LEDs, robotics kits and more.

First, install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-pip python3-pip python-spidev python3-spidev

Install with pip:

sudo pip install gpiozero
sudo pip-3.2 install gpiozero

Both Python 3 and Python 2 are supported. Python 3 is recommended!

Comprehensive documentation is available at pythonhosted.org/gpiozero.
