GPIO for any PC or Laptop: Adafruit FT232H

From the creator

Add GPIO to any PC or laptop running Windows, Linux or macOS using an Adafruit FT232H USB breakout board. Here we set things up, control some LEDs using Python code, and then communicate over I2C with a BME280 temperature, pressure and humidity sensor. The Bmax B1 Plus video I refer to is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGcWLgAk5kA The Adafruit FT232H GPIO breakout is available from many retailers including: Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/3kJ19zi Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3kHBabC Adafruit (US): https://www.adafruit.com/product/2264 Pimoroni (UK): https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-ft232h-breakout-general-purpose-usb-to-gpio-spi-i2c Note that the above Amazon URLs are affiliate links from which I earn a commission. Adafruit’s excellent setup instructions for their FT232H breakout are here: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-any-computer-with-ft232h/setup You can download my LED test code here: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/sample_code/LED_Test.py And my final BME280 code that writes data to a spreadsheet is here: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/sample_code/Sensor_Spreadsheet.py Note that the above BME280 code expects to find a spreadsheet called Weather.xlsx in the folder Python_Code -- you will need to edit the code to point it to whatever location you put this file in. A blank Weather.xls spreadsheet can be found at: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/sample_code/weather.xlsx More information on using openpyxl to store sensor rea
