Python library for driving Pimoroni Touch pHAT
Project description
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/touch-phat
Touch pHAT is a simple add-on for your Pi or Pi Zero that includes 6 touch sensitive pads. Use it to add touch control to your projects.
Installing
Full install (recommended):
We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Touch pHAT up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you'll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:
In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:
curl https://get.pimoroni.com/touchphat | bash
Alternatively, on Raspbian, you can download the pimoroni-dashboard
and install your product by browsing to the relevant entry:
sudo apt-get install pimoroni
(you will find the Dashboard under 'Accessories' too, in the Pi menu - or just run pimoroni-dashboard
at the command line)
If you choose to download examples you'll find them in /home/pi/Pimoroni/touchphat/
.
Manual install:
You'll need to enable i2c:
sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
Library install for Python 3:
sudo python3 -m pip install touchphat
Library install for Python 2:
sudo python2 -m pip install touchphat
Development:
If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you should clone this repository, cd
to the library directory, and run:
sudo python3 setup.py install
(or sudo python3 setup.py install
whichever your primary Python environment may be)
In all cases you will have to enable the i2c bus.
