CircuitPython driver for motor, stepper, and servo based on PCA9685.
Project description
Introduction
Driver for the PCA9685, a 16-channel, 12-bit PWM chip
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pca9685To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pca9685To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pca9685Usage Example
See examples/pca9685_simpletest.py for a demo of the usage.

Building locally
To build this library locally you’ll need to install the circuitpython-build-tools package.
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install circuitpython-build-toolsOnce installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:
source .env/bin/activateThen run the build:
circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-pca9685 --library_location .Sphinx documentation
Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First, install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-themeNow, once you have the virtual environment activated:
cd docs
sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/htmlThis will output the documentation to docs/_build/html. Open the index.html in your browser to view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to locally verify it will pass.
