Using the ultraborg on Windows

Is there a way that I can use the ultraborg on a windows single board computer using youth on to control it?

You should be able to control UltraBorg if the single board computer has I2C pins available.

You will probably need to write some code to send I2C messages to the UltraBorg as the provided library is written for Linux.

I have not heard of youth before, what is it? :)

What do you think the likelihood that it would be a simple plug and play using the Arduino code provided because the sbc we are using is the LattePanda which as a Arduino Leonardo onboard? Any suggestions.

If the Arduino chip has access to I2C pins then you should be able to use the Arduino code as-is.

You only need to connect five pins to an Arduino chip to use UltraBorg.
These are IOREF (pin 1), SDA (pin 3), SCL (pin 5), 5V (pin 4), GND (pin 6).

On the standard Leonardo board SDA is on pin 2 and SCL is on pin 3 on the Arduino.

Hi, I meant to say python not youth, silly autocorrect. Would you be able to help me with an example of this code that has to be modified or point me to a group that has done it before. Thanks.
