I2C
Config
Enable I2C support by configuring the interface with raspi-config and do a reboot to load the kernel drivers.
Check if the kernel drivers were loaded at startup:
lsmod | grep i2c
For a Raspi 3B the result should look something like this:
i2c_bcm2835 16384 0
i2c_dev 20480 0
CMD Line Tools
Then, install the following packages to do some basic i2c tinkering:
sudo aptitude -y install i2c-tools
The i2cdetect tool can be used to search the bus for nodes. But Obacht, not all nodes are detected this way.
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
Snake charming: Python programming
Then, install the following packages for i2c support in python:
sudo pip3 install smbus2
