I want to use the internal GPIO pins to drive a Servo (3.3V is ok). I don’t want to use the audio.
What GPIO pins can I use and what do I have to do in the Software and Python code?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi there, and Welcome.
I would start with the WIKI , look at the
reTerminal DM Getting Started | Seeed Studio Wiki
I won’t deny you of the awesome learning experience ahead of you.
![]()
and just blurt out the PIN numbers and Function. It’s all there.
You don’t say, are you wanting the GPIO inside the Reterminal that a rpi compatible?
(further down the page)
and as Luck would have it, A little more further down the WIKI are some code Not sure if it’s python but ask any additional question after you give it an eyeball.
ie;
That’s a cool device , I don’t have one but may order a standard one without the cameraone for the display size.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I have previously looked into the documentation.
The terminal blocks use GPIO24, 25, 26 and 6. And the PWM pins on the Raspberry Pi are GPIO 12, 13, 18, 19 So I can’t use the header and use the pins inside.
The pin GPIO13 is used for the backlight, so I can’t use this one. I don’t want to use Audio and have disabled the audio chip and some others in the config.txt file to get other pins to work. (We use 12 Outputs and 2 Inputs with the internal 40 Pin header).
I just need to know if I should use GPIO 12, 18 or 19 and how to configure them (possibly with boot.txt and Python) to get our servo to work.
Best,
Paul
Hi there,
Ah’ I see what your trying to do Now.
Yes I would use 12, 18, and 19 because those are the PWM pins left.
Is it raspbian? I saw the “repurpose SPI to GPIO” thread that’s in the ballpark a while back.
Do you have the Utility that shows the GPIO’s?
