Installing
Full install (recommended):
We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Piano 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:
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/pianohat | bash
If you choose to download examples you'll find them in /home/pi/Pimoroni/pianohat/
.
โ Note that on recent versions of Raspberry Pi OS, you may need to enable I2C manually. You can do this using the Raspberry Pi Configuration utility - find it in the 'Preferences' menu, or enter sudo raspi-config
at a Terminal prompt. The option to enable I2C is under 'Interfaces'.
Manual install:
Library install for Python 3:
on Raspberry Pi OS:
sudo apt install python3-pianohat
other environments:
python3 -m pip install pianohat
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 python setup.py install
whichever your primary Python environment may be)
In all cases you will have to enable the i2c bus.
