Recently, DesignSpark discussed how to get the Raspberry Pi up and running<\/a> with the Pmod HAT<\/a> using Andrew Back’s Python library.<\/p>\n

First of all, you must install the libraries, which is covered thoroughly in Andrew Back’s original article.\u00a0<\/a>After the installation, there is a set of examples for the Pmods. The article then goes into the Pmod\u00a0OLEDrgb<\/a> “Hello World” example. The Python code for this is shown below:<\/p>\n

The advantage of this setup is the fact that there is very little hardware set-up time to run the programs. If you want to attach a different sensor, it is a simple matter of switching the Pmods out to take a different measurement.<\/p>\n

The author shares some final thoughts on the project:<\/p>\n

Andrew Back\u2019s library is a great starting point for a project as you can quickly and easily validate your hardware with the examples before using those examples as a jumping-off point for whatever it is you want to try out for yourself. Getting to grips with LED screens can be a bit daunting at first, but the examples really do give you what you need to get some pretty sophisticated screen displays up in record time.<\/p>\n

Altogether, the Pmod HAT and Andrew\u2019s library make a powerful \u2018quickstart\u2019 kit for your next project by allowing you to quickly (and cheaply) try things out, before settling on a hardware combination that you want to move forward with.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
