Python package for using MOD Nokia 3310 with Olinuxino A20EVB on UEXT1

This is only a fork from HenningAust py_LCD:

https://github.com/HenningAust/py_LCD

I only adapt this script to the newer version of pyA20

===============================================================================

Download the pyA20EVB package:

# svn export https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/trunk/SOFTWARE/Python/
# cd pyA20EVB
# python setup.py install

or

  pip install pyA20EVB

Install required python library:

pip install psutil netifaces

=============================================================================== Using py_LCD together with sys_info.py to show CPU-Load, Uptime etc

• making sys_info.py start at system start.

Note: This works on Debian not Android

To start the python script at system start do the following steps:

1. download the files from git:

   git clone https://github.com/arieedzig/py_LCD

2. copy the folder to /opt:

   cp -r py_LCD /opt

3. to run the scipt at system start we need to add an init script. copy from support folder to /etc/init.d/

   cp support/lcdSysInfo /etc/init.d/

4. you can check if everything works up to here by starting the script:

   cd /etc/init.d ./lcdSysInfo start

5. If it works we have to add it to the standard default runlevel to start the script at boot time:

   update-rc.d lcdSysInfo defaults
