#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"
```
