Hi, love what you've done here and I'm trying to do the same thing on an Orange Pi Zero. Unfortunately I'm a noob and I don't know even how to run your program. I can run Python programs, putting them into the ~/.profile of an autologon account (I'm using Armbian) but I don't know what to do with your project to even test it!

Can I suggest you update your project with the necessary commands, suitable for a beginner?

Hi,

Unfortunately that framework is for the Arduino-platform. I have no idea, if the Pi is running that, for all what I know is that Python is the language of choice. Additionally the framework is highly optimized for storage, meaning that every self-explanatory function name is shortened as possible, and the logic behind the parser is ditching everything as soon as possible. Usually you won’t do that, keep everything around until you’re done.

Thanks HTH! I;ve trawled the web but I'm amazed no-one has done this for Pi's, simply printing GPS data on OLED displays..........
