An introduction to GPIO Settings
https://www.electronics-lab.com/introduction-gpio-settings/
Working with microcontrollers means managing GPIO pins at some point. Many configurations have been developed for modern microcontrollers which can lead to some “fancy” terms that may confuse programmers. Its important to understand all of this to avoid confusion and errors while programming. First, some terms need to be understood. GPIO pins have tri-state logic […]
