Learn to code with Scratch and Python in this month’s edition of The MagPi.

Scratch and Python tag-team in the world of computing education. Scratch makes it easy to grasp the coding basics in a colourful interface; Python is an ultra-modern language: easy to pick up and powerful enough to make you a coding master.

Sean McManus is a prolific author of coding books. This month he’s going to show our readers how to code a Raspberry Pi.

P35 & P36: Build an LED torch and electronic game

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show both pins of the resistor(s) connected to the same row on the breadboard. This overrides the resistor, drawing the full 3.3V to the LED from the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi. Although unlikely, it could damage the pins on your Raspberry Pi.
