ASI camera programming via python-zwoasi in Linux

why? astroberry is totally usable on a PC, the UI has so many features, and the "up" and "down" buttons are simply too small to use on a smartphone, or a mini tablet. So I start to investigate on a simple command line, or a "lite" version of UI with big buttons

I use raspberry pi and old ASI120 as an example

1a. install ASI_linux SDK

1b. copy python-zwoasi from github, or simply

'pip install zwoasi'

2. extract or install under /home/astroberry

3. for testing purpose, copy the zwoasi_demo.py to ASI lib/arm7 directory

 4. edit the zwoasi_demo.py file and insert os.environ variable as below:

5. save with another filename, eg, zwoasi_demo1.py

6. in terminal, run 'python zwoasi_demo1.py'
