ABS mini tower kit 's driver and installation script.

When to use this

If for some reason you wish to install a custom Kali OS or use the Raspberry Pi OS you will need this to install the drivers for the OLED display.
NOTE If you use the recovery image provided with the MiniTower you do not need this.

Verify the MiniTower's OLED display is being detected

i2cdetect -y 1
If you see 3c in one of the colums then the OLED display is being detected correctly.
If you do not see a 3c in one of the colums then the OLED display is not being detected.
If the display is not detected:

1. Verfiy the i2c.conf file has the is correct. sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/i2c.conf
   Verfiy it contains the following:

i2c-bcm2835
i2c-dev

2. Verify the /boot/config.txt file is correct: sudo nano /boot/config.txt Uncomment and add the following to /boot/config.txt The following should be present and uncommented:

dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2s=on
dtparam=spi=on
dtparam=i2c1=on

3. Verify your user is a member of the gpio and i2c groups groups <username>
   For example groups kali check the groups for gpio and i2c if they are not present sudo groupadd gpio
sudo usermod -aG gpio,i2c kali
4. Recheck i2cdetect i2cdetect -y 1
