Hi, if you let me know what sort of issues you had, I can help - is this with setting up the software or wiring up the board? |

Hi, you can't just create a dummy That file is required, and needs to be built and installed separately - it is a low-level shared object that contains all the python bindings to interface with C code that ultimately controls the GPIO ports. You need to follow the instructions here: https://github.com/rm-hull/wiringPi to build and install the the relevant libraries - if that was successful you should be able to see a After that, you should be able to get the pcd8544 module installed and try the demos ... oh and you'll need to wire up the board too ;-) Also be aware that there are different breakout boards attached to the LCD screens, so don't rely on the position of the pins, go by what the pin label shows |
I got the board working with some other c sample programs, i have the

I've pulled from the drogon's master branch again, and done some re-org around the python bindings... so if you do the following:
This should install the latest wiringPi shared objects, then if you do:
You will get presented a long list of all the function names as below (note, I moved the python bindings .so to a different directory from my previous message)

Like I said earlier:
If you got it working with binerry's libs then that's good I guess; However, I definitely used different pin-outs to him - my aim is to use hardware SPI rather than software bit-banging, so it is wired to the SPI-specific pins. |
Tried hard to set it up, Made some modification's but have still many issues.
