Hardware tips
You can find a full quick start guide at theMaker Zone Flick Quick Start and FAQwhere we have also provided a pinout
diagram for all of the boards.
To verify that your Flick is available on the I2C bus run
i2cdetect -y 1
You should get a grid like matrix where the number 0x42 represents the address of your Flick board. Should the number not
be visible check that I2C has been enabled or that the cabling has been properly done in the case of the Flick Large.
Note: This does not work immediately after boot. The chip on the Flick board first has to be reset by a low pulse on GPIO 17
before i2c detection will work. If you have the gpio program installed ( sudo apt-get install wiringpi ) then use the
following one-liner to reset the Flick and check its presence immediately after boot:
gpio mode 17 out; gpio write 17 0; gpio write 17 1; i2cdetect -y 1
Flick Large pin mapping
We arranged the connectivity so that only the pins on the left side of Raspberry Pi's header are required to be connected to
the Flick Large.
Flick -> Raspberry Pi
LED2 (Red) -> Pin 15
LED1 (Green) -> Pin 7
GND -> Pin 9
TS -> Pin 13
Reset -> Pin 11
SCL -> Pin 5
SDA -> Pin 3
VCC -> Pin 1
Controlling the dual LED on Flick Large
We have provided a dual LED for additional customisable feedback on the Flick Large. The red LED is connected to Pin
15/GPIO22 whereas the green LED is connected to Pin 7/GPIO4. You can drive these LEDs programmatically or via the
command line.
Bash
This will turn on the green LED
gpio -g mode 22 out
gpio -g write 22 1
This will turn off the red LED
