pyA20Lime 0.2.1

Description:

pyA20Lime 0.2.1

This package provide methods for controlling GPIO pins, I2C and SPI buses.This is written for A20-Lime, but it can be used with other boards. If you dothis we cannot guarantee proper operation of the module. Before using thispackage we recommend reading the article at olimex wiki:https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-OLinuXino-LIMEWhen using GPIO make sure that the desired gpio is not used by another periphery.GPIO METHODS============ init() - Make initialization of the module. Always must be called first. getcfg() - Read current configuration of gpio. setcfg() - Write configuration to gpio. input() - Return current value of gpio. output() - Set output value. pullup() - Set pull-up/pull-down.The available constants are: NAME - EQUALS TO ==== ========= HIGH -> 1 LOW -> 0 INPUT -> 0 OUPTUT -> 1 PULLUP -> 1 PULLDOWN -> 2The gpio are named two ways: By port name: PH0, PG2, PE10, etc. These can be imported from port module: >>> from pyA20Lime.gpio import port >>> dir(port) By connector name and pin number: gpio2p12, gpio3p8, etc. These can be imported from connector module: >>> from pyA20Lime.gpio import connector >>> dir(connector)Generally these constants are just an offset in the memory from the base GPIO address, so they canbe assigned to a number type variable. >>> led = port.PH2 >>> print led 226I2C METHODS=========== init() - Make initialization of the module open() - Begin communication with slave device read() - Read from slave device write() - Write data to slave device close() - End communication with slave deviceSPI METHODS=========== open() - Open SPI bus with given configuration read() - Read data from slave device without write write() - Write data to slave device without read xfer() - Do write and after that read close() - Close SPI busExamples========GPIO:: #!/usr/bin/env python from pyA20Lime.gpio import gpio from pyA20Lime.gpio import port from pyA20Lime.gpio import connector gpio.init() #Initialize module.
