	While most of these circuits may interface directly to the RPi, the use of a buffered interface (such as the one supplied by the [[RPi Gertboard \| Gertboard]]) is recommended which will help protect against damage. Alternatively, experiment with one of the [[#Alternative Test Platforms]].

		+	The GPIO pins connect directly into the core of the ARM processer, and are static-sensitive, so you should avoid touching the pins wherever possible. If you are carrying a static charge, for example by taking off an acrylic pullover, or walking across a nylon carpet, touching the GPIO pins could destroy your R-Pi, so always earth yourself before touching the pins or anything connected to them.

	'''Extreme caution should be exercised when interfacing hardware at a low level, you may damage your RPi, your equipment and potentially yourself and others. Doing so is at your own risk!'''
