Our fifth 96Boards OpenHours session the team discussed in more detail enabling the GPIO libraries on 96Boards. To watch this weeks’ session go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbTo3BwURg8&feature=em-subs_digest
Below is an overview of what was discussed including the time in the video where this topic was discussed.
The week started off with a recap from last week:
Last week the team discussed General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and low speed expansion header, these interfaces help us manipulate and interpret data from the environment using our 96Boards.
