The new ruler is, again, in black circuit board material with gold highlights and white &amp;\u00a0gold lettering and really looks the business.<\/p>\n<p>Alex sent me a sample of the new ruler a couple of weeks ago and I must say I was very impressed. The lettering is clear, the code content is great and above all else, it&#8217;s sturdy and makes an excellent addition to your Pi toolbox. The following GPIO Zero functions are documented:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LED<\/li>\n<li>Button<\/li>\n<li>Light sensor<\/li>\n<li>Motion sensor<\/li>\n<li>Buzzer<\/li>\n<li>Motor<\/li>\n<li>PWMLED<\/li>\n<li>RGBLED<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It also acts as a slot-over GPIO reference courtesy of the labelled holes at one end. It also provides a link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/gpiozero.readthedocs.io\" target=\"_blank\">GPIO Zero documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thoroughly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>You can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/raspitv\/raspio-gpio-zero-code-reference-ruler-for-raspberr?ref=raspberrypipod\" target=\"_blank\">get hold of the new GPIO Zero ruler by visiting the Kickstarter page<\/a><\/strong>. Earlybirds are \u00a34 plus postage for just the GPIO Zero ruler by itself, rising to \u00a35 thereafter. There are other rewards as well, so it&#8217;s well worth checking it out.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the campaign video below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/raspitv\/raspio-gpio-zero-code-reference-ruler-for-raspberr\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Eames, of RasPiO and RasPi.TV fame has just launched his latest Kickstarter.
