<div class="section" id="raspberry-pi-i2c">
<h3>1. Enabling I2C on the Raspberry PI</h3>
<pre class="literal-block">$ sudo raspi-config
</pre>
<p>→ Advanced Options → I2C → Yes</p>
<p>After setting, restart the device</p>
<p>There are various methods depending on the model and the time period, so choose the one that suits your setup.</p>
<p>Reference: `Enabling I2C on recent Raspberry Pis - Rabbit Note &lt;<a class="reference external" href="http://rabbit-note.com/2015/02/08/raspberry-pi-i2c-activation/">http://rabbit-note.com/2015/02/08/raspberry-pi-i2c-activation/</a>&gt;`_</p>
<p>Also, install i2c-tools</p>
<pre class="literal-block">$ sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
</pre>
</div>
<div class="section" id="lcd">
<h3>2. Connect and Verify the LCD Display</h3>
<p>2-1. Run i2cdetect with the display not connected</p>
<pre class="literal-block">$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
