pi_starter_kit's Issues

No module named 'Tkinter'

When I tried Project 3 (03_rgb.py) using Python 3.5.3 in Raspbian, I got an error message that Tkinter was not found. Turns out Tkinter starts with a lower case t in Python 3, and after changing this it worked fine. Maybe a sys.version_info.major check could be made, so that the correct version can be imported according to the Python version?

Gmail needs SSL?

For program 10_mail.py .. Gmail doesn't seem to support non-SSL SMTP connections any more .. is there a solution to this?

03_rgb.py incorrect slider starting position

The LEDs start off at 100%, but the sliders start off at 0 rather than 100. This means that the sliders and LEDs are out of sync until all sliders have been moved. It seemed as though the LEDs were broken to start with. Setting the sliders to 100 when they're created (eg scaleBlue.set(100)) fixes this.

I'm using Python 3.5.3 on Raspbian

I'm enjoying your kit, and troubleshooting has been fun :-)
