GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins allow you to connect devices like buttons or sensors to your BrightSign player to control presentation content. They are unique because they can be configured as either inputs to read signals from external devices or outputs to send power to external devices like LEDs. For example, they can be used to trigger video playback when a button that is connected to a GPIO pin is pressed, or to read data like temperature or light levels from sensors connected to GPIO pins to adjust content based on environmental conditions.
How to Configure GPIO
As inputs, GPIO pins are often used to simulate button presses, allowing allow you to trigger content changes on the player based on input (for example, when a physical button is pushed. When GPIO is ), or when set to output, send advanced commands can be sent to change the state of the GPIO switches and the connected devices connected to on or off. The GPIO pins, which deliver about 3.5 volts, are ideal for lights, sensors, or buttons.
