# Digital Read Pin
Read a **digital** (`0` or `1`) signal from a [pin](/device/pins) on
the @boardname@ board.
```sig
pins.digitalReadPin(DigitalPin.P3)
```
## ~avatar
Some pins are also used by the [LED screen](/device/screen).
Please read the [page about pins](/device/pins) carefully.
## ~
## Parameters
* ``name`` is a [string](/types/string) that stores the name of the pin (``P0``, ``P1``, or ``P2``, up through ``P20``)
## Returns
* a [number](/types/number) that can be `0` or `1`
## Example: football score keeper
This program reads pin `P0` to find when a goal is scored. When `P0`
is `1`, the program makes the score bigger and plays a buzzer sound
through `P2` with ``digital write pin``.
```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)
}
})
```
This program is a remote control for the score keeper program. If you
connect `P1` on the remote control @boardname@ to `P0` on the score
keeper @boardname@, you can press button `B` on the remote to buzz and
make the score bigger on the other @boardname@.
```blocks
input.input.onButtonEvent(Button.B, ButtonEvent.Click, () => {
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P1, 1);
basic.pause(500);
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P1, 0);
});
```
### ~hint
Remember to connect `GND` on both @boardname@s together!
