Overview
rpi_gpio is a Dart library enabling direct access to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins on Linux systems. It allows developers to control digital inputs and outputs, facilitating interaction with physical hardware such as sensors, LEDs, and motors. Designed for IoT applications, the library provides a straightforward interface for managing GPIO functionality within Flutter or standalone Dart projects running on Raspberry Pi. The package integrates seamlessly with the Linux environment where Raspberry Pi operates, making it ideal for embedded and real-time hardware control scenarios.
