Here's how to load the code and assets as well as some additional libraries you'll need.
Additional Libraries
In addition to the main libraries needed for CLUE support covered in the previous section, you'll also need to install the libraries listed here.
You can download the latest library bundle from the CircuitPython webpage.
Make sure you have a copy of these in your CIRCUITPY/lib folder.
- adafruit_bitmap_font
- adafruit_imageload
- adafruit_sgp30.py
Here's a summary:
Freshness Indication
The code below comes with preset values for TVOC_LEVELS used to determine milk freshness. In the next section we discuss the experiment we ran to determine these values as well as how you can alter them. Once set, the CLUE display will indicate milk "freshness" as follows:
Code
Use the Project ZIP link below to download the code as well as the bitmaps and font files used in a single zip file.
Drag the entire bmps and fonts folders to your CIRCUITPY folder. These assets will live in those subfolders.
Save the code listing as code.py into your CIRCUITPY folder so it will run automatically when powered up.
