With Pinout, you can interact with GPIO pins, control displays, and more, all within Laravel.

How does Pinout work?

Run your Laravel application directly on your Raspberry Pi, and connect your hardware to the GPIO pins.

In your Laravel application, you can use the PinService facade to control individual pins. Or you can use the included drivers to interact with more complex hardware, such as LCD displays.

It is distributed as a PHAR, just like Composer, and works similarly to Composer. However, it installs PHP extensions (PHP Modules or Zend Extensions) to your PHP installation rather than pulling PHP packages into your project or library.
