Blinking a LED with JBang and Pi4J on a Raspberry Pi in 15 minutes by Frank Delporte

Ever wanted to experiment with electronic components combined with software? With Java, a Raspberry Pi, and Pi4J you can! In this short session, we will go from zero to hero and control a LED with a single class to interact with a LED (and more?) that is connected to one of the magic pins of a Raspberry Pi. By using JBang we don't even need to install Java, Maven, or any other tool. JBang and a text editor are all we need to create an application that can interact with the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins of the Raspberry Pi to control components, read states, handle events, etc. FRANK DELPORTE Frank Delporte is a Java developer and technical writer working at https://www.azul.com, blogger on https://webtechie.be and https://foojay.io/, author of "Getting started with Java on Raspberry Pi" (https://webtechie.be/books/), and contributor to https://pi4j.com/. He blogs about his experiments with Java, sometimes combined with electronic components, on the Raspberry Pi. ------------------------------------------------------------ INTRO * visuals & editing by @Mercator * music : Avocado by Ephixa
