A pair, not one piece

By itself Termux is a tiny Linux computer.

Termux:API lets that computer use phone features: battery, clipboard, flashlight, notifications. You need the app from F-Droid and the termux-api package inside Termux. They work as a pair.

This page is the explanation. Install the pair on Stage 2. First use it in the battery workshop.

Tap a piece

One without the other is a doorbell with no wiring.

A menu, used one at a time

Battery, clipboard, flashlight, notifications. Named so you know they exist. Used when a project asks. Camera and location wait.
