Combining a 128x64 pixel monochrome LCD, 6 touch buttons, a 6 zone RGB backlight and 6 button LEDs the GFX HAT has everything you need to turn your Pi into a controller and status display.
Installing
Full install (recommended):
We’ve created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Pan-Tilt HAT 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:
Finding the terminal
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/gfxhat | bashIf you choose to download examples you’ll find them in /home/pi/Pimoroni/gfxhat/.
Manual install:
Library install for Python 3:
sudo pip3 install gfxhatLibrary install for Python 2:

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 python setup.py install whichever your primary Python environment may be)
In all cases you will have to enable the i2c and spi buses.
