Python gpiod


license pypi language

It is a pure Python library and has no dependencies on other packages !!

설치

python3 -m pip install -U --user pip gpiod

Help command

>>> import gpiod
>>> help(gpiod)
>>> help(gpiod.chip)
>>> help(gpiod.line)
>>> help(gpiod.chip.open)

open(self, device, how:int=1)
@brief Open a GPIO chip.

@param device: String or int describing the GPIO chip.
@param how: Indicates how the chip should be opened.

If the object already holds a reference to an open chip, it will be
closed and the reference reset.

Usage:
chip.open("/dev/gpiochip0")
chip.open(0, chip.OPEN_BY_NUMBER)

Test command

python3 -m gpiod.test.blink <chip> <line offset>
python3 -m gpiod.test.bulk_blink <chip> <line offset1> [<line offset2> ...]
python3 -m gpiod.test.sequential_blink <chip> <line offset1> \
[<line offset2> ...]
python3 -m gpiod.test.button <chip> <line offset> [rising|falling|both]
python3 -m gpiod.test.bulk_button <chip> <line offset> [<line offset2> ...]
<[rising|falling|both]>
