On The Raspberry Pi Zero in Terminal and type these commands to install the
RTL8723BU Wifi+Bluetooth 4.0 module (should take about 1 hour to compile)
First Lets install the Wifi drivers
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers pi@raspberrypi:~ $ git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu.git ls cd rt* sudo make sudo make install sudo insmod 8723bu.ko ifconfig sudo reboot
Next we are going to install the Bluetooth 4.0 Drivers
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt.git cd rtl8723au_bt git checkout -b kernel origin/kernel git branch git pull sudo make sudo make install sudo reboot
Check if everything is working perfectly with the wifi + bluetooth (connect multiple bluetooth devices).
*Type this command, we are going to edit the screen dimension output since i noticed some overscan space. its 680x480 after i noticed some empty overscan space. We are going to use some overides in the /boot/config.txt.
now just uncomment "disable_overscan=1" and set framebuffer_width=720
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt framebuffer_height=480 "#" uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible "#" and your display can output without overscan disable_overscan=1 "#" uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus "#" overscan. framebuffer_width=680 framebuffer_height=480
CTRL+xY
press enter to saveNext install cloudsight and unirest.
sudo pip install cloudsight sudo pip install unirest pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo pip install cloudsight pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo pip install unirest
