Using the Python Library

The Python code for Adafruit's PWM/Servo breakout on the Pi is available on Github

at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code (http://adafru.it/aOg)

This code should be a good starting point to understanding how you can access SMBus/I2C

devices with your Pi, and getting things moving with your PWM/Servo breakout.

Before you start, you'll need to have the python smbus library installed, run apt-get install

python-smbus

Downloading the Code from Github

The easiest way to get the code onto your Pi is to hook up an Ethernet cable, and clone it

directly using 'git', which is installed by default on most distros. Simply run the following

commands from an appropriate location (ex. "/home/pi"):

if you get an error when running the git command, try running the installer,

sudo apt-get install git

to install git

Testing the Library

Once the code has be downloaded to an appropriate folder, and you have your PWM/Servo

HAT and motor properly connected, you can test it out with the following command (the

driver includes a simple demo program):

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code.git

cd Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code

cd Adafruit_PWM_Servo_Driver

sudo python Servo_Example.py
