+
+digitalRead()
+=============
+
+Reads the value from a specified digital pin, either :ref:`HIGH
+<lang-constants-high>` or :ref:`LOW <lang-constants-low>`.
+
+
+Library Documentation
+---------------------
+
+.. doxygenfunction:: digitalRead
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The following example turns the LED on when the button is pressed::
+
+ int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to Maple pin 13
+ int buttonPin = 38; // BUT connected to Maple pin 38
+
+ void setup() {
+ pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
+ pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
+ }
+
+ void loop() {
+ int val = digitalRead(buttonPin); // reads the input pin
+ digitalWrite(ledPin, val);
+ }
+
+Note
+----
+
+If the pin isn't connected to anything, ``digitalRead()`` can return
+either HIGH or LOW (and this can change in a way that seems random).
+
+Arduino Compatibility
+---------------------
+
+The Maple version of ``digitalRead()`` is compatible with Arduino.
