Let's Make a Web Based Light Switch | Go and Raspberry Pi Tutorial

Go on the Pi sounds pretty tasty--so let's make something somewhat interesting. 🤓

Let's make a simple web server to turn on and off a led light!

We will first set up our wiring: just a basic led light with a resistor, using pin 7 from the GPIO.

Next we will test it out using the command line utility that can be found at: https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi

My Raspberry Pi Distro: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-4

Once that is working we will set up our web server using Go and then attach a couple endpoints to turn on and off the light!
