If you have one of our nice pi box cases you can even have this plugged in while the case is closed.
26 pin gpio cable. The raspbery pi 26 pin 2 x 13 female header is designed to be soldered onto a pcb. The end which plugs into the motherboard is a 26 pin ide connector the connector you need for the pi s gpio. It can then used to plug in a 26 pin gpio device such as a raspberry pi or breakout board. Through programming the pi these gpio ports are able to undertake a variety of tasks inc.
The original 26 pin raspberry pi is equipped with a row of 2x13 pin headers. The pitch of the pins is 0 1 inch 2 54 mm. You can use that cable as is if you don t need gpio pin 26 gpio 7 or replace the cable with a 26. This cable is not compatible with the raspberry pi model b if you want to bridge those contacts out onto another pcb you ll want this cable.
In almost all cases the ribbon cable which goes from that connector to the db 25 connector on the back of the case only has 25 pins. 862 that new raspberry pi model a or b computer you just got has a row of 2x13 pin headers soldered on those are the gpio general purpose input output pins and for those of us who like to hack electronics they are where the real fun is. I searched on line and found several soluti. Each header sits approximately 8 5mm above the pcb once installed.
These aren t just for show however these gpio general purpose input output pins can be used to access a whole new world of fun with your raspberry pi.
