Adafruit PiTFT 2.2/2.8 inch LCD	manual	framebuffer-based
BakeBit NanoHat OLED	manual	for NanoPi NEO/NEO2, not Raspberry Pi
BlinkStick Strip	manual	USB instead of GPIO; our recommended device
Pimoroni Blinkt!	manual	our recommended device
Pimoroni Scroll HAT Mini	manual
Uctronics 3.5 inch Touchscreen	manual	framebuffer-based; avoid it

Waveshare True color RGB LED HAT	manual

Installing

1. Clone this repository as /opt/drivebadger/external/ext-mobile-drivers directory on your Mobile Badger device.
2. Follow the detailed install instructions for your device model (see above links).
3. Enable the driver for your device by creating a symbolic link named installed to its directory:

cd /opt/drivebadger/external/ext-mobile-drivers
ln -s pimoroni-blinkt installed

Why there is no single install script?

There are two main reasons for it:

1. Each device model has totally different dependencies and prerequisites, that can't be easily handled in a single script.
2. Raspberry Pi don't have a Plug&Play mechanism, and it's not possible to automatically detect and recognize connected devices in a reliable way. So it's up to the user to install the proper drivers.
