DRIVER INSTALLATION & GIT CLONE
In order to to use the lessons first we'll need to clone the repository from GitHub that includes all
the examples that we'll need.
To do so, run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/Elecrow-RD/Raspberry-Pi-Starter-Kit.git
cd Raspberry-Pi-Starter-Kit/Drivers
After cloning the repository and CD (going into the folder) Drivers, we'll now continue in
installing the actual drivers.
There are couple of drivers we'll need to install:
*
adafruit_python_charLCD - Adafruit library to control the LCD screen
*
adafruit_python_DHT - Adafruit library to control the DH11 sensor
*
Adafruit_Python_LED_Backpack - Adafruit library to control the segment LED
*
Luma.LED_Matrix - Library to control the matrix LED
We have all the drivers we need in the drivers/ folder in our Raspberry-Pi-Starter-Kit repository.
So let's proceed installing them all. We are going to install each driver seperately so make sure to
follow the instructions very carefully.
Before you start make sure your current location on the terminal states "Drivers" as the drivers
folder you are currently at.
