Objective

In this session, the student will connect the RPi 400 to a breadboard using an extension cable and GPIO breakout board. The student will then connect a led and resister to a GPIO pin and programmatically make it blink.

GPIO Breakout and Breadboard Installation

⚠ NOTE: When Connecting/Disconnecting the Cyberdeck and/or Enviro+, shutdown and UNPLUG the RaspberryPi 400 first!
