Description:
PCA9685smbus2 0.0.6
Python-PCA9685
A probably definitely not-best-practices way to use the PCA9685 with an Orange Pi Zero 3.
If it works, it works.
Purpose
This library replaces adafruit/Adafruit_Python_PCA9685 for
the Orange Pi Zero 3 and presumably other single board computers that may or may not have reliable Blinka support.
Usage
This will set an SG90 micro servo plugged into channel 0 to spin to the -90° position.
from PCA9685_smbus2 import PCA9685
pwm = PCA9685.PCA9685() # defaults to using i2c-3 and address 0x40
pwm.set_pwm_freq(50) # set frequency to 50 Hz for SG90 servos
pwm.set_pwm(0, 0, 102) # channel 0, on time 0?, off time 102 (1 ms)
The on and off times above are the number of ticks on the PCA9685, which has a 12-bit resolution and therefore can range from 0 to 4096.
Tested on
This library has been tested on:
Orange Pi Zero 3
It likely supports any board in which the accessible I2C bus can be found by running ls /dev/i2c-*, since it relies on the smbus2 library for I2C interfacing.
Ensure that the relevant I2C interface has been enabled in sudo orangepi-config or sudo raspi-config (or whatever the case may be) for this to work right.
