This is a fork of Adafruit's Python libraries for Raspberry-Pi and BeagleBone Black
for the FishPi project.
We have forked the repository to have a reliable source for the libraries.
There is a PyPi-release that can be installed with pip (pip install Adafruit-Libraries),
but it does not seem to be updated regularly and contains bugs.
Below is the original readme text from Adafruit.
Here is a growing collection of libraries and example python scripts for controlling a variety of Adafruit electronics with a Raspberry Pi
In progress!
Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing products from Adafruit!
