curl -sS https://limitos.com/run | bash
What the activation script does:
- Downloads Python 3 modules
- Adds the LimitOS script
- Registers a new device

- When you see a registration code appear, go to https://limitos.com/register (on any device) and type in your registration code
Arduino setup:
LimitOS also be run on an Arduino that is connected to a Raspberry Pi via I
2C:
- Connect the Arduino to a Raspberry Pi using I2C by connecting the ground, SDA, and SCL pins on the Arduino to the same pins on the Raspberry Pi.
- Copy and paste the customized Arduino script from your device page into the Arduino IDE and upload to the device.
Please see the
I2C page for more information.
