dissimulo 030172f523 Initial backup of LTP-305G matrix clock setup on matrixpi
Captures everything needed to redeploy the two-display clock (hour on I2C
0x61, minute on I2C 0x63) on a fresh Pi:

- Both systemd units (matrix0x61.service, matrix0x63.service)
- Deployed Pimoroni script tree, including the local %I (12-hour) clock
  customization
- Vendored upstream sources (ltp305-python, breakout-garden) so restore is
  fully offline-capable
- Boot config snippet enabling I2C
- install.sh that wires it all back up idempotently
- Inventory doc cross-referencing every live-system path

Breakout Garden

Software and examples for the Pimoroni Breakout Garden, a simple way to build projects using breakouts, with absolutely no soldering required.

Installing

Breakout Garden doesn't require any software of its own, but each breakout you use will need a Python library.

We've created a handy script to get you started:

  1. Plug in all of your Breakout Garden-compatible breakouts
  2. Run wget https://github.com/pimoroni/breakout-garden/archive/master.zip to download software.
  3. Run unzip master.zip to unzip the software.
  4. Run cd breakout-garden-master to enter code folder.
  5. Run sudo ./install.sh
  6. Step through the install process
  7. Enjoy!

Examples

We've put together a few fun examples to show what's possible with Breakout Garden. Each example has its own README telling you about it, which breakouts are required, and about how to use it.
