If you follow the aforementioned Setup steps, the obdPi script(s) should be set to execute upon startup of your Raspberry Pi.

These same scripts can also be manually executed. If you have followed the steps to configure your external display, you can execute the main_oled.py via:

python main_oled.py

If not, you can still use main_print.py to output to the terminal via:

python main_print.py
