panasonicMLLreset - fully functional!

Panasonic plasma TV MLL reset script for Raspberry Pi, instead of Arduino.

A bug in the old (2008-2011?) Panasonic plasma TVs cause them to get less black over time. Tested on Raspberry Pi 4 only.

Requires i2c modules loaded with "modprobe i2c-bcm2835 i2c-dev"

Requires the user to be in the i2c group.

requires pip install smbus2

argument -s makes it run silent. Run without arguments first so you know if it works.

For the 2009 Panasonic TV I have, you need this for the cable:

Connector: JST PHR-11

Crimps (PH 2.0mm): SPH-004T-P0.5S

Four jumper cables.

be aware that the Raspberry Pi pinout is as follows.

Pana pin 3->gpio pin 6 (GND)

Pana pin 8->gpio pin 5 (SCL)

Pana pin 9->gpio pin 3 (SDA)

Pana pin 10->gpio pin 9 (GND)
