rpilcd2 board control scripts

The aim of this set of scripts is to use the rpilcd2 board OLED display and buttons.

Those scripts use Adafruit's SSD1306 implementation

You can purchase the kit on YADOM.FR.

Three python scripts are provided :

• testio.py: displays the name of the button pressed in the console.

• rpilcd2menu.py: vertical menu template with pictures displayed according to the selected item. The pictures' maximum width is adjusted with the menu items texts length.

• rpilcd2actions.py: displays date, time or IP address. SW1 displays the IP address of the Rapsberry Pi, SW4 just displays the time. Return to the initial display with SW2. SW3 switches mode every second as long as the button is pressed.

Usage

cd to script's directory
sudo python [name of script].py

example :

cd /rpilcd2/rpilcd2menu
sudo python rpilcd2menu.py

Type Ctrl-C to exit
