    Onion Omega2 Starter Kit Welcome to the Guide for the Onion Omega2 Starter Kit! What We’re Going to Learn We’re going to learn about the following:  o     o o o o o   How to put together circuits on a breadboard This is an essential skill for electronics prototyping! Get comfortable reading circuit diagrams Using the Omega’s command line interface Writing Python scripts on the command line Using Python to control external circuits with the Omega Programming from the ground-up Learning If statements, For loops, While Loops Writing our own functions Programming existing Python modules Object Oriented programming Using classes Writing our own classes What’s Included Your Starter Kit contains the following items; we’ve labelled them here for your convenience. How to Use This Guide Before getting started on the experiments, set up your Omega by following the First Time Setup Guide. Then you can learn more on: 1. Connecting to the Omega’s Command Line 2. An introduction to using the command line 3. Installing the software we need for the experiments Once you’ve done those, we recommend working your way through the experiments in order as they usually build on what we’ve learned in each one. What Exactly Will I Learn? Here’s a list of all of the experiments we’re going to build with your Kit: 1. o 2. o 3. o 4. o 5. o 6. o 7. o 8. o Blinking an LED Learn the basics of programming the Omega by turning an LED on and off. Blinking Multiple LEDs Learn some more programming concepts by controlling multiple LEDs at once. Fading an LED Create a cool LED fading effect using the pulse width modulation technique. Reading a Switch Use a physical switch to control an LED through the Omega. Using a Shift Register Use a shift register chip to control 8 LEDs using only a few GPIOs. Controlling a Seven-Segment Display Add a seven-segment display to the previous circuit to display numbers. Reading a 1-Wire Temperature Sensor Use a 1-Wire temperature sensor to read the ambient temperature. Controlling LCD Screen Use the I2C protocol to control an LCD screen attached to the previous circuit.                                                          https://docs.onion.io/omega2‐starter‐kit/2‐14‐19
