Darth-Vader-RPi v0.1.0a0

Changelog

v0.1.0a0

September 15, 2020

• Initial release

• Tested the start_dv script on various platforms and environments.

  Here are the results:

  • macOS:

    • The start_dv -s command runs without errors on Python 3.7 and 3.8

    • On Python 3.5 and 3.6, I had to set my locale settings to LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to make the start_dv -s command work. Thus, it was not an error with the script but with how my system environment was setup. Python 3.5 and 3.6 don't assume UTF-8 based local settings like the other more recent Python versions.

  • Raspberry Pi (Python 3.5):

    • Running the start_dv command without errors.
    • Running the start_dv -s command without errors.

  • SSH from macOS to RPi (Python 3.5):

    • Running the start_dv command without errors.

    • Running the start_dv -s command produces a warning about pynput not being able to be imported (as expected) but the rest of the code that doesn't depend on keyboard keys being detected works, i.e. blinking of LED symbols in the terminal.
