Raspberry Leaf

Dr Simon Monk ( who has written a book on the Pi and Python – check it out on Amazon ) has come up with a really useful idea: a bit of paper you can install over the GPIO pins of your prototyping Pi (and leave there) to remind you which pin is which. The simplest ideas are the best, aren’t they
