This instructable is a demonstration of the Drogon Remote Control (DRC) feature included with wiringPi.
Drogon Remote Control consists of an Arduino program that handles USB communication between the Arduino(s) and the RaspberryPi. I will be running two arduinos, with the same DRC sketch on both of them. It’s like the RaspberryPi and the Arduino(s) become one, giving you the power of both, and all the programming is done on the RaspberryPi. You can download the Arduino Sketch Here:
The RaspberryPi program in this tutorial uses the wiringPi libraries, written by Gordon Henderson, for programming the GPIO in C.
wiringPi must be installed. Instructions for download, installation and use are located at http://wiringpi.com
wiringPi uses it’s own pin numbering scheme.
All RaspberryPi pin numbers are wiringPi numbers unless otherwise specified.
You will need a way to run wires from the RaspberryPi to the breadboard. You can use male/female jumper wires but one of the Pi Cobblers listed on this page from Adafruit will make it a lot easier: http://www.adafruit.com/search?q=cobbler
For the RaspberryP circuit you will also need:
RaspberryPi
Breadboard
Jumper wires
2 – LEDs, I used one red and one green.
2 – 330-560 Ohm resistors, for the LEDs.
1 – Push button switch
1 – 10K resistor, pull-down resistor for switch.
Use these parts to copy the circuit in the illustration above.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
