See the [kernel guide](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/pwm.html#using-pwms-with-the-sysfs-interface) for the parameters we set to assign and control the pin.
## I2C
**Working**: I have read temperature, pressure and humidity from a BME280 sensor connected to pins `3` and `5`.
**Working**: I have read temperature, pressure and humidity from a BME280 sensor connected to pins `3` and `5`, and output that to a OLED display on the same bus. See the python example below.
Install `i2c-tools` and add your user to the `i2c` group to access the device nodes.
The following is a python based demo that uses [`pypi:bme280`](https://pypi.org/project/bme280/)
* The BME280 library has a dependency on [`pypi:smbus-cffi`](https://pypi.org/project/smbus-cffi/); which in turn needs the `python-dev` system package.
* I am using a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html), rather than installing the python libraries globally.
```
$ sudo apt install python3-venv python3-dev i2c-tools
```console
$ sudo apt install i2c-tools
$ sudo usermod -a -G i2c <username>
# Log out then in again so that your user now has the `i2c` group membership
# Create virtualenv in a directory './bme-env' and activate it (exit with `deactivate`, removing the directory+contents deletes the venv)
$ python3 -m venv bme-env
$ source bme-env/bin/activate
# Install the sensor library and dependencies
(bme-env) $ pip install --upgrade pip
(bme-env) $ pip install --upgrade smbus-cffi bme280
# The bme280 library provides a python API, and a commandline tool
(bme-env) $ which read_bme280
<cwd>/env/bin/read_bme280
# My bme280 defaults to address 0x76, and I'm using I2C0
(bme-env) $ read_bme280 --i2c-bus 0 --i2c-address 0x76
1024.85 hPa
56.84 %
21.59 C
```
Reboot at his point, after the reboot you should have devices in the `/dev` tree for i2c. Use `i2cdetect` to scan them for attached devices:
```console
$ ls -l /dev/i2c*
crw-rw---- 1 root i2c 89, 0 Sep 23 21:17 /dev/i2c-0
crw-rw---- 1 root i2c 89, 1 Sep 23 21:17 /dev/i2c-1
$ i2cdetect -l
i2c-0 i2c mv64xxx_i2c adapter I2C adapter
i2c-1 i2c mv64xxx_i2c adapter I2C adapter
$ i2cdetect -y 0
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

```
You can see that interface `0` has a BME280 device at address`0x76`, and a SSD1306 OLED screen at `0x3c`.
## SPI
**Working?**: When I enable SPI1 in the device tree a device is registered at `/sys/devices/platform/soc/4026000.spi/`

# Python demo
The following is a demo of using I2C to read data from a BME280 Temperature, Humidity and Pressure sensor, and display ito on a SSD1306 OLED display.
- It will be expanded with lgpio PWM and pin input/interrupt code later.
- All the install steps here (both `apt` and `pip`) are tediously slow on the MQ Pro.
For the demo we need to install some dependencies, and then I use a virtualenv to install the python libraries:
```bash
# Dependencies needed by pip install.
$ sudo apt install python3-venv python3-dev python3-lgpio libjpeg-dev liblgpio-dev build-essential
# Create virtualenv at './env' and activate it
# - exit with `deactivate`
# - removing the `./env` directory+contents deletes the venv
$ python3 -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate
# Upgrade pip then install the libraries we use
(env) $ pip install --upgrade pip
(env) $ pip install --upgrade pimoroni-bme280
(env) $ pip install --upgrade luma.oled
# Run the demo
(env) $ python GPIO-demo.py
```
....WIP...
I still need to upload he demo script..

## Status LED:
The onboard (blue) status LED is attached to gpio `PD18`, and can be controlled via the sys tree:
