This is a Python library specifically designed for Seeed's RPi boards, enabling you to utilize the onboard hardware features. Currently, the accelerometer, user LEDs, user buttons, and buzzer can be accessed and controlled using this library on Seeed's RPi boards. Additionally, if your board supports features like a fan, RS232, RS485, or CAN, this library provides the necessary interfaces to interact with them as well.
- To install the latest release from PyPI

Take the RS232 for example:

If not. You will get the error log with "Network is down". And you can enable the can with "sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000".
