It has become extremely popular in the Raspberry Pi community and is now the de-facto standard for GPIO coding. In fact, many intermediate and advanced level programmers also use it as it allows you to get straight into GPIO programming without some of the &#8220;messing around&#8221; you need to do with RPi.GPIO.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/camjam.me\/?page_id=236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">find the new worksheets here<\/a>.
