Software
Our Display-O-Tron Python library will get you going in a jiffy, and makes controlling Display-O-Tron HAT really easy.
We've included examples showing you how to use the backlight, bar graph LEDs, and touch buttons, as well as more advanced examples showing you how to create menus, games and even an internet radio!
Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.
Notes
If you want to keep your Pi in a case, we recommend the Pibow Coupe for Raspberry Pi 3 B+ case or the Pibow Coupe for Raspberry Pi 3 A+ as it will allow you to still use the capacitive touch buttons.
