Installation

Python

• Open a terminal and run the following commands to enable SPI：

sudo raspi-config

• Choose Interfacing Options -> SPI -> Yes

• You can also use GUI method to enable SPI Go to Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Interfaces, and enable SPI

• Stack 1.3 inch LCD HAT on top of Raspberry Pi GPIO Header pins.
• Make Sure SPI is Enabled (As mentioned above)
• Now clone 1.3 inch LCD HAT Github repository by running below command in terminal

git clone https://github.com/sbcshop/1.3-LCD-HAT.git

• Enter dowloaded directory

cd 1.3-LCD-HAT

• Now run main.py by running the below command. It will display some text and an image on LCD.

python3 main.py

• You can also run "Button_demo.py" file to test joystick and buttons.

python3 Button_demo.py
