Python code to use the LSM303 accelerometer & magnetometer with Raspberry Pi & BeagleBone Black.
To install the library from source (recommended) run the following commands on a Raspberry Pi or other Debian-based OS system:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_LSM303.git
cd Adafruit_Python_LSM303
sudo python setup.py install
Alternatively you can install from pip with:
sudo pip install adafruit-lsm303
Note that the pip install method won't install the example code.
