CHIP_IO
============================
A CHIP GPIO library
Manual::
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev python-pip -y
git clone git://github.com/xtacocorex/CHIP_IO.git
cd CHIP_IO
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..
sudo rm -rf CHIP_IO
**Usage**
Using the library is very similar to the excellent RPi.GPIO library used on the Raspberry Pi. Below are some examples.
All scripts that require GPIO access need to be run with super user permissions!
**GPIO Setup**
Import the library, and setup as GPIO.OUT or GPIO.IN::
import CHIP_IO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("CSID0", GPIO.OUT)
You can also refer to the pin number::
GPIO.setup("U14_31", GPIO.OUT)
**GPIO Output**
Setup the pin for output, and write GPIO.HIGH or GPIO.LOW. Or you can use 1 or 0.::
import CHIP_IO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("CSID0", GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output("CSID0", GPIO.HIGH)
**GPIO Input**
Inputs work similarly to outputs.::
import CHIP_IO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("CSID0", GPIO.IN)
Polling inputs::
if GPIO.input("CSID0"):
print("HIGH")
else:
print("LOW")
Waiting for an edge (GPIO.RISING, GPIO.FALLING, or GPIO.BOTH::
This only works for the AP-EINT1, AP-EINT3, and XPO Pins on the CHIP
GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING)
Detecting events::
GPIO.setup("XIO-P0", GPIO.IN)
GPIO.add_event_detect("XIO-P0", GPIO.FALLING)
#your amazing code here
#detect wherever:
if GPIO.event_detected("XIO-P0"):
print "event detected!"
**GPIO Cleanup**
To clean up the GPIO when done, do the following::
GPIO.cleanup()
**PWM**::
import CHIP_IO.PWM as PWM
#PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
PWM.start("PWM0", 50)
PWM.set_duty_cycle("PWM0", 25.5)
PWM.set_frequency("PWM0", 10)
PWM.stop("PWM0")
PWM.cleanup()
#set polarity to 1 on start:
PWM.start("PWM0", 50, 2000, 1)
**SOFTPWM**::
import CHIP_IO.SOFTPWM as PWM
#PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
#you can choose any pin
PWM.start("XIO-P7", 50)
PWM.set_duty_cycle("XIO-P7", 25.5)
PWM.set_frequency("XIO-P7", 10)
PWM.stop("XIO-P7")
PWM.cleanup()
#set polarity to 1 on start:
PWM.start("XIO-P7", 50, 2000, 1)
Use SOFTPWM at low speeds (hundreds of Hz) for the best results. Do not use for anything that needs high precision or reliability.
**ADC**::
Not Implemented yet
**Running tests**
Install py.test to run the tests. You'll also need the python compiler package for py.test.::
sudo apt-get install python-pytest
Execute the following in the root of the project::
sudo py.test
