Additional Libraries

Once you've finished setting up your CLUE, add these additional libraries to the lib folder:

adafruit_bitmap_font
adafruit_progressbar
simpleio.mpy

Then, you can click on the Download: Project Zip link above the code to download the code file, fonts folder and bitmap background image.

Code

Click on "Copy Code" and then paste it into the Mu editor to save to your CLUE as code.py or copy the code file from the Project Zip folder to the CLUE's CIRCUITPY drive.

Fonts and Background Bitmap

In addition to the lib folder, for this project you'll also have a fonts folder. The fonts folder contains the three bitmap fonts that are used for text displayed on the CLUE's display.
