Getting Started

You need to also install the drivers for you CAN adapter. Niui uses python-can as backend so all adapters supported by it, are also supported by niui. See python-can documentation for further info.

python3 -m niui --project-dir path/to/nimu-package-123 --interface vector --channel 1
