# Digital Write Pin

Write the value ``0`` or ``1`` to the specified (digital) [pin](/device/pins). **Some pins are also used by the display, read the [pin documentation ](/device/pins) carefully.**

```sig
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P1, 1)
```

### Parameters

* name - the pin name (``P0``, ``P1``, ``P2``, ...)
* value - [Number](/reference/types/number); 0 or 1

### Example: football score keeper

The following example reads `P0` to determine when a goal is scored. When `P0 = 1`, the code uses `digital write pin` to play a buzzer sound:

```blocks
let score = 0
basic.showNumber(score)
basic.forever(() => {
    if (pins.digitalReadPin(DigitalPin.P0) == 1) {
        score++;
        pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P2, 1)
        basic.showNumber(score)
        basic.pause(1000)
        pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P2, 0)
    }
})
```
