    In this project you will connect an LED to a Raspberry Pi’s General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) header and control the LED using a cFS app.  It helps cFS developers gain experience with using a library and an app to interface and control an external hardware component using low-cost materials.

    This project helps answer the common cFS question, “How should I design a cFS app to manage a science payload?” There are multiple approaches towards solving this problem. This project is not intended to provide a survey of designs, rather it shows a specific design that you can evaluate within the context of your situation.
