Example Code for Raspberry Pi-IIC

Hardware Preparation

• Raspberry Pi 4B x1
• IO Expansion HAT for Raspberry Pi x1
• HDMI Cable x1
• Display x1
• Keyboard and Mouse x1
• SEN0303 VEML6075 UV sensor x1

Software Preparation

• Enable Raspberry Pi I2C interface. (Way to enable SPI is the same with IIC). Skip this step if it is already enabled.
• Install Phython demo library and git, and make sure the network connection of Raspberry Pi is fine. Skip this step if these have been installed.
