sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip python3-pil
sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
sudo pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-python-shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306
sudo pip3 install pi-ina219
sudo pip3 show pi-ina219
2. Run the following command to check the oled i2c port
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
for X729, the I2C address is 0x3c
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd oled
(7.2) Install the Adafruit CircuitPython library
pi@raspberrypi:~/oled $ sudo python3 raspi-blinka.py
(7.3) Answering Y and hitting Enter when reboot prompted. Then renavigate to the oled directly by entering:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd oled
(7.4) Run the script to test the display
pi@raspberrypi:~/oled $ sudo python3 x729.py
(7.5) Run the script at Raspberry Pi boot
pi@raspberrypi:~/oled $ sudo crontab -e
(7.6) Add a line at the end of the file that reads like this:
