Getting MOVI to work on a Raspberry PI 3 or Pi ZeroW

Connect MOVI onto Raspberry Pi using adapter the Adapter sold by Audeme or the wiring scheme in this Instructable. Beware that some steps have changed. This README presents an update. Connect the Raspberry PI to a power supply with at least 2 Amperes. If the power supply has not enough power, the Raspberry PI will complain Undervoltage detected and show a ⚡️ in the upper right corner of the screen.
Download latest Raspbian. Install on SDCard, start Raspberry PI, follow steps including updating process.
Start a terminal and edit /boot/config.txt using your favorite editor like sudo nano /boot/config.txt. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
```
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt 
core_freq=250
enable_uart=1
```
Now edit /boot/cmdline.txt: sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt remove the word phrase console=serial0,115200 or console=ttyAMA0,115200.
Reboot the Raspberry PI.
Find out which devices files exist now. This seems to be dynamic. For me: /dev/serial0 is the one that MOVI responds to. /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/serial1 give an input/output error. The easiest way to find out is to do an: stty -a -F <devicefile> where devicefile is one of /dev/ttyAMA0, /dev/serial0, /dev/ttyS0, or /dev/serial1. The one with the lowest number that doesn't return an error should be used. For example if /dev/ttyAMA0 and /dev/serial1 both work, try using /dev/ttyAMA0 first.

You'll need setuptools for the installation.

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools

or for python2

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

From this directory call python3 setup.py install or better yet install it into your venv.
Browse through the examples directory and play around with them. All examples assume /dev/serial0. You may have to modify them if that's not your device file.
