The code for the CLUE I Ching Caster is listed below. You can copy it out and save it to a local file. Once you've done that, you can save the file as code.py in your CIRCUITPY folder and it will run automatically when powered up or reset. You'll also need to grab the font file christopher_done_24.bdf.
You CIRCUITPY folder should look something like this:
Libraries
You'll need to make sure the following libraries are installed in your CIRCUITPY/lib folder:
