This process may take tens of minutes, please be patient
Due to different hardware, you need to choose a different project file such as <code>x729.py</code> or <code>stats.py</code> * <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.* <code>x729.py</code> is for [[X729]] shield.

sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip python3-pil
sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
'''2. Run the following command to check the oled i2c port'''

Please sure teh I2C is enable before this step, please refer to [[How to enable I2C]]
'''3. Installation'''

cd oled
3.4 Run the script to test the display
