Quick Start

2/12/2018 GitHub - PiSupply/Flick: Resources for the Flick range of boards and cases
https://github.com/PiSupply/Flick 3/3
gpio -g mode 4 out
gpio -g write 4 0
Python
This will turn off the green using RPi.GPIO
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(22, True)
This will turn off the green LED using gpiozero
from gpiozero import LED
led = LED(22)
led.on()
Additional information
The Flick boards use the MGC3130 3D gesture controller based on Microchip's patented Gestic© technology. You can find
more information atMicrochips's website
The Flick boards can also be used with the MicrochipAurea Software Packageand theMGC3130 Hillstar Development Kit.
The Hillstar Development kit contains a USB to I2C interface board which allows you to connect the Flick boards (via a
jumper cable) to a PC. The Aurea software comes with a demo application which can be used to test the boards and
program new firmware. It also has a mouse emulator and a media player controller.
Third party software libraries
It is safe to say we have an awesome and growing community of people adding gesture sensing to their projects with Flick
and we get a huge amount of contributions of code, some of which we can easily integrate here and others which we can't
(we are only a small team). However we want to make sure that any contributions are easy to find, for anyone looking. So
here is a list of other software libraries that might be useful to you (if you have one of your own, please visit the"Issues"tab
above and let us know!):
