Installation

Step 1: Install Python3

Python 3.4 is already installed if you use 'python3' instead of 'python', if it's not the case sudo apt-get install python3.
TKinter is part of standard Python libraries.There is no need to install it.

Step 2: Active I2C

• Comment the line blacklist i2c-bcm2708 in the file / etc / modprobe.d / raspi-blacklist.conf
• Install the suite of I2C management tools apt-get install i2c-tools
• Restart your Raspberry.

Once your M-BOXE is set up and connected to the I2C bus, type i2cdetect -y 1 (replace '1' with '0' with 256MB versions):

Usage

Go to folder, then type python3 M-BOXE_MANAGER_TK.py, or lunch with Python IDE.

Scanning the I2C bus and connecting to an M-BOXE
