Frequently that software is written using the Python programming language. And for Python to communicate with the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins, it requires a library of code. There are several libraries but this week, let's talk about the two most popular, GPIO Zero and RPI.GPIO Hi, I'm Mark Niemann-Ross and welcome to this week's edition of Raspberry Pi Weekly. Every week, we explore the Raspberry Pi and share useful tips. Before we go any further, let's clear up the difference between the GPIO Zero library, and the Raspberry Pi Model Zero. You can program the Raspberry Pi Model Zero using Python and the GPIO Zero library. Once you're aware that the similar names refer to a library or a model of Raspberry Pi, use shouldn't have any problems. Next, for an…
