PHYSICAL Numbering 

Another way to refer to the pins is by simply counting across and down from pin 1 at the top left (nearest to 

the SD card). This is 'physical numbering', as shown below: 

 

 

WiringPi GPIO Numbering 

 

Different from the previous two types of GPIO serial numbers, RPi GPIO serial number of the WiringPi are 

numbered according to the BCM chip use in RPi.
