GPIO pin numbering note in Readme? #25

Closed zapdogster closed 3 years ago

zapdogster commented 3 years ago

A suggested ReadMe addition for those not being familiar with RPi GPIO. I did not know the difference between BCM and BOARD mode numbering. I would have found something like the following in the GPIO section to a be good heads up for a newbie:

• Be aware of the difference between BCM and BOARD for the “Board Pin Mode” mode dropdown selection: o BOARD mode numbering refers to the physical pin number of the GPIO connector o BCM mode numbering refers to the pin function, by the "Broadcom SOC channel" numbering - i.e. the numbers after the “GPIO” label o Example on a RPi 3B: BOARD mode pin 23 == BCM mode pin 11 (i.e. GPIO11)

Thanks for the great plugin!
