Raspberry Pi 40-pin Connector on Seed Wio Terminal

(filename: wio-term-40pin.htm)

The Wio Terminal from Seeed is, at heart, an Arduino.

But "the package"... the hardware and the software... is so much MORE! (^_^)

This page merely scratches the surface of something which, to some, will be huge. Personally? I am still wandering delightedly dazed in the corridors of some of the OTHER treats in the Wio Terminal. I haven't done anything with the 40-way connector on the back of the Wio Terminal, yet.

But these pages (there's an index/ table of contents/ homepage) are meant to be a general independent "Wio Terminal resource", and the 40 pin terminal could not go entirely unrepresented, even in these early days.

The Seeed marketing pages tell us that this connector allows us to use the Wio Terminal as a "Raspberry Pi as a slave device", and (alternatively) the connector allows us to use some Raspberry Pi add-ons.

I would be careful... there's a lot going on, and while I take the statement to be in good faith, I doubt that every Pi add-on can be plugged into a Wio Terminal seamlessly. Is every pin on the 40 pin connector both electronically, and in respect of the software affecting it identical to that pin in a Raspberry? Seems a wonderful ambition... but also seems a big ask.

What's New at the Site Advanced search
Search tool (free) provided by FreeFind... whom I've used since 2002. Happy with it, obviously!

Unlike the clever Google search engine, this one merely looks for the words you type, so....
*    Spell them properly.
*    Don't bother with "How do I get rich?" That will merely return pages with "how", "do", "I"....

Please also note that I have three other sites, and that this search will not include them. They have their own search buttons.

My SheepdogSoftware.co.uk site, where you'll find my main homepage. It has links for other areas, such as education, programming, investing.

Why does this page cause a script to run? Because of the Google panels, and the code for the search button. Also, I have my web-traffic monitored for me by eXTReMe tracker. They offer a free tracker.
