# GPIO Control
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
QMK has a GPIO control abstraction layer which is microcontroller agnostic. This is done to allow easy access to pin control across different platforms.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Functions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following functions can provide basic control of GPIOs and are found in `quantum/quantum.h`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
|Function              |Description                                                       |
 | 
						|
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | 
						|
|`setPinInput(pin)`    |Set pin as input with high impedance (High-Z)                     |
 | 
						|
|`setPinInputHigh(pin)`|Set pin as input with build in pull-up                            |
 | 
						|
|`setPinInputLow(pin)` |Set pin as input with build in pull-down (Supported only on STM32)|
 | 
						|
|`setPinOutput(pin)`   |Set pin as output                                                 |
 | 
						|
|`writePinHigh(pin)`   |Set pin level as high, assuming it is an output                   |
 | 
						|
|`writePinLow(pin)`    |Set pin level as low, assuming it is an output                    |
 | 
						|
|`writePin(pin, level)`|Set pin level, assuming it is an output                           |
 | 
						|
|`readPin(pin)`        |Returns the level of the pin                                      |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Advanced Settings
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each microcontroller can have multiple advanced settings regarding its GPIO. This abstraction layer does not limit the use of architecture-specific functions. Advanced users should consult the datasheet of their desired device and include any needed libraries. For AVR, the standard avr/io.h library is used; for STM32, the ChibiOS [PAL library](http://chibios.sourceforge.net/docs3/hal/group___p_a_l.html) is used.
