Hi FourDee,
I have a good Software suggestion for DietPi.
WiringPi
It is basically a competitor to RPi.GPIO
WiringPi has a command line utility called 'gpio'. This makes it possible to control GPIO pins from the command line. Read about it here
Generally WiringPi has a lot more features available, SPI/I2C, Gert board etc.
and it's more newbie friendly because the code looks a lot like Arduino Code.
Regards
[Software] WiringPi

Excellent suggestion Zombie +1. I've created a ticket for this requested and I will take a look when I can:

Re: [Software] WiringPi
If I might suggest - wiringPI only works for the PI - whereas WiringOP works for the likes of OrangePI - it does need some customisation for the likes of the FriendlyArm units and currently the pin numbers are wrong on all but the OrangePi - modifying with a parameter to set up what hardware is in use would make this INCREDIBLY useful as it has the GPIO tool which can be used by a non-root user - and hence by Node-Red EXEC node. I am running a NEO right now and I have a led flashing on and off using this - I cannot however figure out how to get the I2c running - I suspect something is missing. Not everyone wants to build music centres and so access to hardware as easy as it is on the real Pi would be a godsend.
