3.1 Install 4 Run the script to test the Adafruit CircuitPython librarydisplay pi@raspberrypi:~/oled $ sudo python3 stats.py OR sudo python3 raspi-blinkax729.py 3Due to different hardware, you need to choose a different project file such as <code>x729.2 Answering Y and hitting Enter when reboot promptedpy</code> or <code>stats. Then renavigate to the oled directly by entering:py</code> pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd oled 3* <code>stats.py</code> is for most hardware such as [[NASPi CM4-M2]] or [[NASPi CM4-2.5]] or [[NASPi Gemini 2.5]] or [[X882]] shield.3 Run the script to test the display pi@raspberrypi:~/oled $ sudo python3 * <code>x729.py </code> is for [[X729]] shield. 3.4 5 Run the script at Raspberry Pi boot pi@raspberrypi:~/oled $ sudo crontab -e 3.5 6 Add a line at the end of the file that reads like this: PS: we must toogle to the /home/pi/oled directory because .ttf files is required to locate in current directory,you can refer to x729.py source file, or you can also remove the 'cd /home/pi/oled &&' if you use the absolute path of the ttf file in the source code. @reboot cd /home/pi/oled && python3 /home/pi/oled/x729yourd-evice-name.py &
