Description:

pyaardvark 0.8.1

Python binding for Total Phase Aardvark

The Total Phase Aardvark is an USB I²C/SPI
host adapter.
Rationale
The manufacturer already provides an python binding. So why a new one?
This is correct, but the python binding you can find in the
aardvark-linux-api package is very C oriented. Eg. you need to pass
arrays as method parameters, which are then modified by the binding.
Instead, this binding tries to be more pythonic.
Features

simple interface
CLI tool for easy testing
I²C and SPI support
support for control signals like target power and internal I²C
pullups
rudimental I²C slave support
Support for Linux, Windows and OSX

(Still) Missing Features

more documentation (please bear with me)
GPIO support

Documentation
You can find the most up to date documentation at:
http://pyaardvark.rtfd.org
Requirements
You need an either an x86, an amd64, an aarch64, an arm32 or a M1 machine. This
is because the binding uses a binary-only module supplied by the manufacturer,
Total Phase. Linux, Windows, and OSX are supported.
Python 2.7 support
The last version with python 2.7 support is 0.7.1.
Monitor support
Total Phase removed the monitor support in their binary modules in version 6.00.
The last pyaardvark version which use the old binaries and thus still support
montoring is 0.7.x.
