I've been searching for a few days now but it has been unsuccessful. How do you set the output strength of a gpio pin? at current I am using gpio 24, a multimeter indicated a current of about 40ma (think this is due to only the 1 pin being in use). I want to be able to adjust it to about 10ma

hey any idea how I would go about setting the pin drive strength. I read that the default is 8mA. each pin is 3 bits so instead of setting the pin to 001 would you change its strength with a different value like 011?

yep thats it, got it working .

cheers for your help

Do you know how many amps is in the output of the gpio pins?. trying to figure out what type of transistor I will need to drive a small dc motor.

ok thanks your right I was getting confused with the GPIO pins. I agree, your code looks right, I ran it but it still did not light the LED. found this table, I understand that I have to turn the pin on at location 0x2020 0008 then clear the pin at 0x2020 0028 but what if I was to set pin 24 at addr...

GPIO 24

I have completed the baking pi tutorials and started on my own projects. At the moment I am just trying to switch a led on via GPIO PIN 24 (18). this is very simple but I am obviously doing something wrong. is either my code or circuit incorrect? I first used the baking pi lesson 01 code and had my ...
