\n

\"berryclip_2013_03_#06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The BerryClip is a simple, cheap and easy to use add-on board for the Raspberry Pi. It plugs directly onto the Pi\u2019s GPIO header and provides 6 coloured LEDs, 1 Buzzer and 1 Switch.<\/p>\n

It can be controlled using any programming language that can manipulate the GPIO pins.<\/p>\n

Raspberry Pi Setup<\/h2>\n

Boot the Raspberry Pi and login with default username and password (\u2018pi\u2019 and \u2018raspberry\u2019). You will now be located in the \u2018pi\u2019 user home directory (\u2018\/home\/pi\/\u2019).<\/p>\n

Type the following commands in a terminal, pressing the Enter key at the end of each line :<\/p>\n
