#Getting Started

picircuit is an abstraction to make hardware hacking with Raspberry Pi easy, by providing high-level APIs to interface with electrical components

##Examples

The examples below show the code required to interact with components

###Flashing LED

The following snippet of code starts a flashing led, waits for 10 seconds, and turns off the LED component

```python

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

import time

from picircuit.components.led import FlashingLED

from RPi import GPIO

def main(args):

    print "start"

    # Causes an LED on pin 12 to flash every 0.1 seconds

    flashing = FlashingLED(pin=12, interval=0.1)

    # Turns on flashing LED, waits for 10 seconds, and turns off LED

    flashing.on()

    time.sleep(10)

    flashing.off()

    print "done"

```

###LCD Display

This snippet shows come code to write arbitrary text to LCD1602, which is a popular LCD display commonly used with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

```python

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

import time

from picircuit.components.lcd import LCD1602

from RPi import GPIO

def main(args):

    print "start"

    

    # Create an LCD1602 display component

    lcd = LCD1602(rs_pin=12, rw_pin=18)

    lcd.on()

    # Prints arbitrary text data to LCD

    lcd.text("Hello World!")

    time.sleep(10)

    lcd.text("Good Bye!")

    lcd.off()

    print "done"

```
