    Connect your Laravel application to the physical world with Pinout

    Pinout is a Laravel package that bridges the gap between web applications and hardware, enabling developers to control hardware components directly from their Laravel projects. With Pinout, you can interact with GPIO pins, control displays, and more, all within Laravel. How does Pinout work? Run your Laravel application directly on your Raspberry Pi, and connect your hardware to the GPIO pins. In your Laravel application, you can use the PinService facade to control individual pins. Or you can use the included drivers to interact with more complex hardware, such as LCD displays.
