This is a reworking of BrightPi Python Module so it works with python 3 and the latest RaspberryPi firmware.

Uncomment the following in /boot/config

dtparam=i2c_arm=on

Then add the following line to /etc/modules

snd-bcm2835
i2c-dev
i2c-bcm2708

Install IC2 utilities:

sudo apt-get install python3-smbus i2c-tools

Finally reboot your raspberry.

sudo python3 test1
