Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm was released last year and as a result, my previous tutorial on setting up an OLED stats display for your Raspberry Pi on OS Bullseye no longer works. So I've revised the tutorial to get the libraries installed within a virtual environment and the script running on the latest version of the operating system.
