A library used to interface with the RaspberryPi and a set of HT1632c Sure Electronic LED Boards.

Connection

Using a Raspberry PI model B2, you need to connect some GPIO pins to the LED BR1 port, the input port, like this:

Installation

On your Raspberry PI open a shell, or connect to it by ssh. First you need to install the python development package and the wiringPi library

Prerequisites

Execute the following commands to have an updated package database, and to install python-dev and git-core:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install git-core

You are now ready to install the wiringPi library. You may have a look at http://wiringpi.com/ for further information and documentation. Inside the shell execute these commands, to download the source code with git, build and install the library.

git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
cd wiringPi
git pull origin
./build

Enable SPI on Board
