 # 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.

 For the demo we need to install some dependencies via `apt`.
