Further analysis of the maintenance status of gpiozero based on released PyPI versions cadence, the repository activity, and other data points determined that its maintenance is Inactive.

An important project maintenance signal to consider for gpiozero is that it hasn't seen any new versions released to PyPI in the past 12 months, and could be considered as a discontinued project, or that which receives low attention from its maintainers.

As a healthy sign for on-going project maintenance, we found that the GitHub repository had at least 1 pull request or issue interacted with by the community.

        27.5Hz, and "G9" is approximately 12.5Khz) a :exc:`ValueError`

gpiozero

A simple interface to GPIO devices with Raspberry Pi, developed and maintained by Ben Nuttall and Dave Jones.

About

Component interfaces are provided to allow a frictionless way to get started with physical computing:

from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep

led = LED(17)

while True:
    led.on()
    sleep(1)
    led.off()
    sleep(1)

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

from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause

led = LED(17)
button = Button(3)

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

pause()

You can advance to using the declarative paradigm along with provided to describe the behaviour of devices and their interactions:

from gpiozero import OutputDevice, MotionSensor, LightSensor
from gpiozero.tools import booleanized, all_values
from signal import pause

garden = OutputDevice(17)
motion = MotionSensor(4)
light = LightSensor(5)

garden.source = all_values(booleanized(light, 0, 0.1), motion)

pause()

See the chapter on Source/Values for more information.

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. See the Recipes chapter of the documentation for ideas on how to get started.

Pin factories

GPIO Zero builds on a number of underlying pin libraries, including RPi.GPIO and pigpio, each with their own benefits. You can select a particular pin library to be used, either for the whole script or per-device, according to your needs. See the section on changing the pin factory.

A "mock pin" interface is also provided for testing purposes. Read more about this in the section on mock pins.

Installation

GPIO Zero is installed by default in the Raspberry Pi OS desktop image, available from raspberrypi.org. To install on Raspberry Pi OS Lite or other operating systems, including for PCs using remote GPIO, see the Installing chapter.

Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available at . Please refer to the Contributing and Development chapters in the documentation for information on contributing to the project.

Issues and questions

If you have a feature request or bug report, please open an issue on GitHub. If you have a question or need help, this may be better suited to our GitHub discussion board, the Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange or the Raspberry Pi Forums.
