<![CDATA[Programming the Omega]]>I really could do with help on how one goes about programming the Omega and what APIs there are for accessing the hardware (pins, i2c, etc).

Basic examples/tutorial would be of great help.

Is it possible to install pip or other 3rd party module? Will there be some python GPIO library?

GPIO libraries and how to access I2C would also be useful to me

@Kit-Bishop Currently you can use shell commands to interact with GPIO and I2C. Once these wrappers have been written we will be posting API documentations that shows you how to interact with the features programmatically.

I have just been using Adafruit's python libs for their displays which you control over i2c and very happy if you can provide similar functionality. Cool!

There is a tool in python called 2to3. If we write python 2 code carefully, we can just write one set of code and have it "compiled" to python 3 without any issue.

It will be up on my channel by the end of this week latest. I will post more info when it is up. So relax and just wait 😉

I also wrote a simple, simple wrapper for the gpio which was inspired by Omega user 'Dan L'.
