CHIP_IO
============================
A CHIP GPIO library
NOTE: Now requires the custom DTC to install the library
Manual::
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev python-pip flex bison -y
git clone https://github.com/atenart/dtc
cd dtc
make
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr
cd ..
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, PWM (HW and/or SW), and Overlay Manager 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)
You can also refer to the bin based upon its alternate name::
GPIO.setup("GPIO1", GPIO.IN)
**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**::
Hardware PWM requires a DTB Overlay loaded on the CHIP to allow the kernel to know there is a PWM device available to use.
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 SPWM
#SPWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
#you can choose any pin
SPWM.start("XIO-P7", 50)
SPWM.set_duty_cycle("XIO-P7", 25.5)
SPWM.set_frequency("XIO-P7", 10)
SPWM.stop("XIO-P7")
SPWM.cleanup()
#set polarity to 1 on start:
SPWM.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.
If using SOFTPWM and PWM at the same time, import CHIP_IO.SOFTPWM as SPWM or something different than PWM as to not confuse the library.
**ADC**::
Not Implemented yet
**SPI**::
SPI requires a DTB Overlay to access. CHIP_IO does not contain any SPI specific code as the Python spidev module works when it can see the SPI bus.
**Overlay Manager**::
The Overlay Manager enables you to quickly load simple Device Tree Overlays. The options for loading are:
PWM0, SPI2, I2C1, CUST
Only one of each type of overlay can be loaded at a time, but all three options can be loaded simultaneously. So you can have SPI2 and I2C1 without PWM0, but you cannot have SPI2 loaded twice.
import CHIP_IO.OverlayManager as OM
# The enable_debug() function turns on debug printing
#OM.enable_debug()
# To load an overlay, feed in the name to load()
OM.load("PWM0")
# To verify the overlay was properly loaded, the get_ functions return booleans
OM.get_pwm_loaded()
OM.get_i2c_loaded()
OM.get_spi_loaded()
# To unload an overlay, feed in the name to unload()
OM.unload("PWM0")
To use a custom overlay, you must build and compile it properly per the DIP Docs: http://docs.getchip.com/dip.html#development-by-example
There is no verification that the Custom Overlay is setup properly, it's fire and forget
import CHIP_IO.OverlayManager as OM
# The full path to the dtbo file needs to be specified
OM.load("CUST","/home/chip/projects/myfunproject/overlays/mycustomoverlay.dtbo")
# You can check for loading like above, but it's really just there for sameness
OM.get_custom_loaded()
# To unload, just call unload()
OM.unload("CUST")
Note that this requires the 4.4 kernel with the CONFIG_OF_CONFIGFS option enabled in the kernel config.
**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
