There's an article on the wiki which explains how to set a GPIO to a
specific value: [0]
If you want to read a GPIO value then you use direction "in" and then
simply cat to read the "value".

The only thing that you might have to do is doing a bit of maths to
get the correct GPIO number.
When you are trying to read GPIO #16 then it's GPIO #16 of a specific
chip -> /sys/class/gpio/ should contain a file gpiochipNNN.
What you do is take NNN (let's assume it's 456) and add your GPIO
number to it: 456 + 16 = 472 -> this is the number needef to "export"
the GPIO.
