A pin is the basic object to control I/O pins (also known as GPIO - general-purpose input/output). It has methods to set the mode of the pin (input, output, etc) and methods to get and set the digital logic level. For analog control of a pin, see the ADC class.
## Quick Usage Example
```python
from machine import Pin
# initialize `P9` in gpio mode and make it an output
p_out = Pin('P9', mode=Pin.OUT)
p_out.value(1)
p_out.value(0)
p_out.toggle()
p_out(True)
# make `P10` an input with the pull-up enabled
p_in = Pin('P10', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP)
p_in() # get value, 0 or 1
```
## Constructors
### class machine.Pin(id, [mode=Pin.OUT, pull=None, alt])
Create a new Pin object associated with the string `id`. If additional arguments are given, they are used to initialise the pin. [See pin.init()](../pin#pin-init-mode-pull-alt)
```python
from machine import Pin
p = Pin('P10', mode=Pin.OUT, pull=None, alt=-1)
```
## Methods
### pin.init(mode, pull, * , alt)
Initialise the pin:
* `mode` can be one of:
* `Pin.IN` - input pin.
* `Pin.OUT` - output pin in push-pull mode.
* `Pin.OPEN_DRAIN` - input or output pin in open-drain mode.
* `pull` can be one of:
* `None` - no pull up or down resistor.
* `Pin.PULL_UP` - pull up resistor enabled.
* `Pin.PULL_DOWN` - pull down resistor enabled.
* `*`
* Pin value: `0` or `1`
* `alt` is the id of the alternate function.
Returns: `None`.
### pin.id()
Get the pin id.
### pin.value([value])
Get or set the digital logic level of the pin. This only works in `Pin.OUT` mode. Values can be:
* `True` or 1: High
* `False`or 0: Low
### pin([value])
Pin objects are callable. The call method provides a (fast) shortcut to set and get the value of the pin.
Example:
```python
from machine import Pin
pin = Pin('P12', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP)
pin() # fast method to get the value
```
See `pin.value()` for more details.
### pin.toggle()
Toggle the value of the pin.
### pin.mode([mode])
Get or set the pin mode. Modes can be:
* `Pin.IN`
* `Pin.OUT`
* `Pin.OPEN_DRAIN`
### pin.pull([pull])
Get or set the pin pull. Pull can be:
* `Pin.PULL_UP`
* `Pin.PULL_DOWN`
* `None`
### pin.hold([hold])
Get or set the pin hold. You can apply a hold to a pin by passing `True` (or clear it by passing `False`). When a pin is held, its value cannot be changed by using `Pin.value()` or `Pin.toggle()` until the hold is released. This Can be used to retain the pin state through a core reset and system reset triggered by watchdog time-out or Deep-sleep events. Only pins in the RTC power domain can retain their value through deep sleep or reset.
These are: `P2, P3, P4, P6, P8, P9, P10, P13, P14, P15, P16, P17, P18, P19, P20, P21, P22, P23`
### pin.callback(trigger, [handler=None, arg=None])
Set a callback to be triggered when the input level at the pin changes.
* `trigger` is the type of event that triggers the callback. Possible values are:
* `Pin.IRQ_FALLING` interrupt on falling edge.
* `Pin.IRQ_RISING` interrupt on rising edge.
* `Pin.IRQ_LOW_LEVEL` interrupt on low level.
* `Pin.IRQ_HIGH_LEVEL` interrupt on high level.
The values can be OR-ed together, for instance `trigger=Pin.IRQ_FALLING | Pin.IRQ_RISING`
* `handler` is the function to be called when the event happens. This function will receive one argument. Set `handler` to `None` to disable it.
* `arg` is an optional argument to pass to the callback. If left empty or set to `None`, the function will receive the Pin object that triggered it.
Example:
```python
from machine import Pin
def pin_handler(arg):
print("got an interrupt in pin %s" % (arg.id()))
p_in = Pin('P10', mode=Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_UP)
p_in.callback(Pin.IRQ_FALLING | Pin.IRQ_RISING, pin_handler)
```

## Attributes
### class pin.exp_board
Contains all Pin objects supported by the expansion board. Examples:
```python
Pin.exp_board.G16
led = Pin(Pin.exp_board.G16, mode=Pin.OUT)
Pin.exp_board.G16.id()
```
### class pin.module
Contains all `Pin` objects supported by the module. Examples:
```python
Pin.module.P9
led = Pin(Pin.module.P9, mode=Pin.OUT)
Pin.module.P9.id()
```
## Constants
The following constants are used to configure the pin objects. Note that not all constants are available on all ports.
* Selects the pin mode: `Pin.IN`, `Pin.OUT`, `Pin.OPEN_DRAIN`
* Enables the pull up or pull down resistor: `Pin.PULL_UP`, `Pin.PULL_DOWN`
