Python code for operating the extension PCBs (e.g., GPIO pins, shift registers, ADC, and bus communication). This section is a work in progress (WIP), and example scripts will be added as development continues. Python code for operating the extension PCBs (e.g., GPIO pins, shift registers, ADC, and bus communication).

# ======== WIP ========
# Python scripting
The pin assignment to the actual terminals are defined / mapped in
`rpi-scripts\interface_board_pins.py` so it should be included in any custom script created to easily reference the terminal numbers printed onto the project housing in the code. See examples in `rpi-scripts\examples`
TODO: make those files link to file but with text still the file path
# Usage Raspberry-PI
## Connectivity
### Establish LAN Connection (ethernet)
configure in command.txt in boot partition?
### Establish WIFI Connection
```bash
s nmcli device wifi connect <SSID> password <password>
# replace <SSID> and <password> with actual wifi
```
### Connect via ssh
```powershell
ssh pi@192.168.1.100
```
### Connect via rdp
Open mstsc from windows start menu, and enter ip, user root and password.
Or use powershell:
```powershell
mstsc /v:192.168.1.100:3389
```
Note: currently only user `root` works (using user pi results in blackscreen)
### Mount filesystem in windows
You can mount /home/pi folder in windows natively using samba
Run in powershell to mount it as network device X (replace ip with the current ip of rpi)
Find out ip with running `ip a` on the raspberry
```powershell
net use X: \\192.168.1.100\pi /user:pi
```
## Scripts
### Autostart GUI
```bash
git/rpi-interface-board/rpi-scripts/gui% s cp gui-start.service /etc/systemd/system/
```
