Get these amazing color - coded GPIO pins! Locating the ground or power connection you need becomes a breeze. These 40 - pin 2x20 male headers from The Pi Hut are designed for use on a Raspberry Pi Zero. The color - coding is a real game - changer for your prototyping work. You'll never waste time searching for a ground pin again! Here's how the simple color coding works: Red stands for 5V, Yellow represents 3V3, Black means GND, and Blue indicates DNC (Reversed I2C). Just for fun, you can try installing the header the wrong way round and ditch your normal pin reference! Remember, the Raspberry Pi Zero is not included in this package.
Using this color - coded GPIO header is easy. First, make sure your Raspberry Pi Zero is powered off. Gently align the 40 - pin 2x20 male header with the corresponding slots on the Raspberry Pi Zero. Press it down firmly but carefully until it's fully seated. When you're prototyping, use the color - coding to quickly find the right connection. For example, if you need a 5V power source, look for the red pins. As for maintenance, keep the header clean and free from dust. Avoid bending the pins as it can damage the header and affect its performance. And always remember, the Raspberry Pi Zero itself is not part of this product, so you'll need to have your own.
