In this example, we will connect the BlinkM to the Raspberry Pi. A BlinkM is an RGB LED that can be connected to your Raspberry Pi via the I2C interface. It is possible to execute light scripts using the port. The connections to the BlinkM are similar to that of the 7-segment backpack.

Note
It is important to pay attention while connecting devices to the GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi. If there are devices that draw a lot of current from the GPIO pins, it may reset the Pi or permanently damage it in the event of a short circuit. It is assumed that you are familiar with basic electronics and capable of handling such devices.
