button_led.py
A push button on GPIO27 drives an LED on GPIO17: gpiozero's when_pressed/when_released callbacks avoid polling. Bounce is filtered with bounce_time=0.05 s. A good starting point for a local interface, mindful of this board's 40-pin header.
Hardware
A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (quad-core BCM2837B0 at 1.4 GHz, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, shielded metal case SoC, 40-pin GPIO). One push button, one LED, a 330-ohm resistor, dupont wires.
Wiring
One button leg to GPIO27 (pin 13), the other to GND; the pull-up resistor is internal (pull_up=True). LED on GPIO17.
How it works
gpiozero enables the internal pull-up; pressing ties the pin to GND and fires the callback. pause() keeps the event loop alive.
Running it
Copy the script to the board (scp), then run it with python3 (or bash). Raspberry Pi OS ships gpiozero; otherwise sudo apt install python3-gpiozero. The 40-pin pinout is documented on the official Raspberry Pi site.
Variants
Use btn.wait_for_press() for blocking reads; hold_time detects long presses. Check the pin on the official J8 schematic.
