Adafruit-BBIO 1.0.5

**PLEASE NOTE: This library may have breaking changes as development continues. Please read the changelog anytime you update the library!**

**The PWM Duty Cycle range was reversed in 0.0.15 from 100(off)-0(on) to 0(off)-100(on). Please update your code accordingly.**

**Adafruit's BeagleBone IO Python Library**

This is a set of Python tools to allow GPIO, PWM, and ADC access on the BeagleBone using the Linux 3.8 Kernel and above (latest releases).

It has been tested on the 5-20 and 6-6 Angstrom image on the BeagleBone Black.

**Note: BBIO has been renamed to Adafruit_BBIO.**

**Installation on Angstrom**

Easiest::

/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org
opkg update && opkg install python-pip python-setuptools
pip install Adafruit_BBIO

Manual::

git clone git://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python.git
#set the date and time
/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org
#install dependency
opkg update && opkg install python-distutils
cd adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
python setup.py install

**Installation on Ubuntu/Debian**

Easiest::

sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip -y
#easy_install -U distribute //debian only
sudo pip install Adafruit_BBIO

Manual::

sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip -y
git clone git://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python.git
cd adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..
sudo rm -rf adafruit-beaglebone-io-python

**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 Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.OUT)

You can also refer to the pin names::

GPIO.setup("GPIO0_26", GPIO.OUT)

**GPIO Output**

Setup the pin for output, and write GPIO.HIGH or GPIO.LOW. Or you can use 1 or 0.::

import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output("P8_14", GPIO.HIGH)

**On-Board LEDs**

On-board LEDs (USR0-USR3) are handled by LED class driver rather than the GPIO pin driver.

They have a different path in the /sys/ filesystem.

Setup the pin for output and write GPIO.HIGH or GPIO.LOW::

import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
import time

for i in range(4):
GPIO.setup("USR%d" % i, GPIO.OUT)

while True:
for i in range(4):
GPIO.output("USR%d" % i, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
for i in range(4):
GPIO.output("USR%d" % i, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)

**GPIO Input**

Inputs work similarly to outputs.::

import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.IN)

Polling inputs::

if GPIO.input("P8_14"):
print("HIGH")
else:
print("LOW")

Waiting for an edge (GPIO.RISING, GPIO.FALLING, or GPIO.BOTH::

GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING)

or

GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING, timeout)

Detecting events::

GPIO.add_event_detect("P9_12", GPIO.FALLING)
#your amazing code here
#detect wherever:
if GPIO.event_detected("P9_12"):
print "event detected!"

**PWM**::

import Adafruit_BBIO.PWM as PWM
#PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
PWM.start("P9_14", 50)
PWM.set_duty_cycle("P9_14", 25.5)
PWM.set_frequency("P9_14", 10)

PWM.stop("P9_14")
PWM.cleanup()

#set polarity to 1 on start:
PWM.start("P9_14", 50, 2000, 1)

**ADC**::

import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
ADC.setup()

#read returns values 0-1.0
value = ADC.read("P9_40")

#read_raw returns non-normalized value
value = ADC.read_raw("P9_40")

**Running tests**

Install py.test to run the tests. You'll also need the python compiler package for py.test.::

opkg update && opkg install python-compiler
#Either pip or easy_install
pip install -U pytest
easy_install -U pytest

Execute the following in the root of the project::

py.test
