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.
**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::
py.test
