This is what I have for my receiver circuit but I don't know if this is right.

Hi guys, I'm working on a simple project that is not so simple for since I'm new to this. So what I'm trying to do is to create a simple circuit that sends a certain frequency to another circuit that receives signals to turn on the LED but the problem is that I don't know how to create a circuit tha...

Here is a simple YouTube video made by someone, he shows you how to set up the breadboard and gives you the code for the blinking led to work.

Good Luck!

Ah okay, thank you all very much for the informative posts

I have this part similar to the picture below but I don't know what it is called or what is it used for. Can someone please tell me the name of this part?
Can this be used for the raspberry pi?

Thanks

I recently found a part from a modem's circuit board and I was wondering what it was. http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/660/654/493/493654660_740.jpg I was doing some research but I could not find a proper name for it.

The +5v on the connector block isn't really GPIO there is no input or output capability on this pin it's just your +5v input power supply rail without polyfuse protection which also provides power to the USB ports. You can use +5v and ground to attached external devices as well as powering the Pi d...

I'm a new user of the epic raspberry pi and I had been playing around with the GPIO for a while now. So I've been wondering, would it be safe to use a 5v pin and a ground pin? I was searching for this and on one of the responses in a post mentioned that the 5v pin and the ground pin are not GPIOs so...
