    I thought that the 'Getting Started' section of
pyDriveWire/docs/The pyDriveWire Manual.html did a good job of
explaining how to start pyDriveWire. No pictures tho. (I used the
'Binary Package' instructions with a 'git clone' of the source.)

Manfred(chrish)$ cd /source/pyDriveWire
Manfred(chrish)$ pyDriveWire --ui-port 6800 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --speed
115200 /home/chrish/dsk/NOS9_6809_L2_dw.dsk

    Works like a champ on my Linux Box or any of my Pis. Although I
actually put the options into /home/chrish/.pydrivewirerc. Then all I
have to type is: pyDriveWire

Manfred(chrish)$ cat .pydrivewirerc 

# pyDrivewire config

#Main Instance
option accept True
option port 65504

option uiPort 6800

[serial]
option port /dev/ttyUSB0
option speed 115200
dw disk insert 0 /home/chrish/dsk/NOS9_6809_L2_dw.dsk
