# RPiGPIO.makertools
|
|
|
|
Python library for using the GPIO on RaspberryPi with examples.
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
To install the RPiGPIO.makertools library, you first have to clone the git repo:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://git.privacynerd.de/dotmakertools/RPiGPIO.makertools.git
|
|
```
|
|
After this is done, cd into RPiGPIO.makertools and type:
|
|
```
|
|
python3 setup.py install
|
|
```
|
|
This will copy the required package files to your python installation point (or, in case of a virtual environment, to the _lib_ directory of the env folder) and install all requirements.
|
|
|
|
When you want to use devices which communicate over I²C, you probably first have to enable with `raspi-config`:
|
|
- _Interface Options_
|
|
- _I2C_
|
|
- **Yes** and **OK**
|
|
|
|
That's it! Now you can use the library in Python by importing it:
|
|
```python3
|
|
import RPiGPIOmakertools
|
|
``` |
