Implementing Blink with wiringPi

After setting up the Raspberry Pi, it's now time to connect different electronics components to it and program it using the C++ programming language. To use C++, we will first have to download and install a library called wiringPi.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Installing the wiringPi library inside the Raspberry Pi
Making an LED blink
Smart Light—working with a digital sensor
Pulse Width Modulation using softPwm
