What kind of connector do I use for the Pi's GPIO pins?
Dec 9, 2012 · ribbon cable with IDC connectors. Good option if you want to bring all the pins to another board using a single cable. Downside is that the IDC connectors have wide sides which means you must use one that completely covers the header. single pin crimp sockets. These are commonly found on jumper wires and often used for prototyping.
Where to get / how to build a 50" / 1.25 m. long GPIO cable
Apr 18, 2014 · I've thought about creating the cable myself from a 230V electric cable, but then I also couldn't find the little connectors to put on the end. And if I'm lucky, I would like the cable a three-in-one, because the transmitter needs 3 cables, and it would look better (because the transmitter is in my living room) if there is just one cable (like ...
Hot plugging the GPIO cable - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
As your questions stands, yes you can plug a ribbon cable into the Pi. This is the same as manually connecting each GPIO pin to a single piece of wire. What are you plugging it into? As with any hardware on the GPIO I would recommend only plugging/unplugging when the power is Pi is off and the power disconnected.
Max distance for GPIO cable? - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
Feb 4, 2019 · If you're referring to the cables that you stick on the GPIO pins, they work on 1-5 V typically,on arduino they have higher voltages, so the voltage will fall slowly with distance. i wouldn't suggest using longer cables.
gpio - Female Breadboard Jumper Cables - Raspberry Pi Stack …
Oct 21, 2012 · Can I use the inexpensive female/male or female/female breadboard jumper cables to temporarily wire sensors to the GPIO pins?
How to connect single GPIO pins? - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
May 5, 2013 · I want to connect an IR receiver and a gas meter impluse reader to the GPIO port. I saw those ribbon cables, but they have much more wires than needed. Can I by these small connectors for single ...
GPIO ribbon cable with multiple connectors
Nov 19, 2018 · I have used an old style 40 conductor IDE cable on the original Pi with the 26 pin header. Note that 80 conductor IDE cables are not suitable. Actually I'm wondering if my memory is faulty and I actually was using a floppy disk cable. You would need to check that the cable does not reverse the ranks (odd numbered pins connected to even numbered ...
Can I use PATA cables for GPIO? - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
Raspberry's GPIO connector looks very similar to the old Parallel-ATA connectors. I do have several spare floppy/hdd PATA ribbon cables. Can I use these cables for GPIO? I know that GPIO has 26 pins, floppy has 34, hdd has 40, but the GPIO connector is at the edge of the board, so the connector may just overlap.
Can I connect my raspberry pi zero via the gpio pins and an …
May 8, 2020 · Ethernet uses an analog signal scheme with five different voltage levels, GPIO pins can only detect digital = two different voltage levels Ethernet uses differential and not single ended signals GPIOs usually support switching speeds in the range of a few 10 MHz while Ethernet (100M and 1G) operate on 125 MHz.
How do I supply power through the GPIO?
Yes you can supply 5v on the GPIO pin. BUT, it has no backward protection and it was not really designed to be a 5volt input pin. the 3.3v pin can also be powered with 3.3v as the regulator has build in protection- but again it leaves your BCM unprotected! Typically any power pins on GPIO area are used to power extended circuits.
