adafruit_bus_device – Hardware accelerated external bus access

The I2CDevice and SPIDevice helper classes make managing transaction state on a bus easy. For example, they manage locking the bus to prevent other concurrent access. For SPI devices, it manages the chip select and protocol changes such as mode. For I2C, it manages the device address.

class adafruit_bus_device.I2CDevice(i2c: busio.I2C, device_address: int, probe: bool = True)

I2C Device Manager

Represents a single I2C device and manages locking the bus and the device address.

Paramètres:
  • i2c (I2C) – The I2C bus the device is on

  • device_address (int) – The 7 bit device address

  • probe (bool) – Probe for the device upon object creation, default is true

Example:

import busio
from board import *
from adafruit_bus_device.i2c_device import I2CDevice
with busio.I2C(SCL, SDA) as i2c:
    device = I2CDevice(i2c, 0x70)
    bytes_read = bytearray(4)
    with device:
        device.readinto(bytes_read)
    # A second transaction
    with device:
        device.write(bytes_read)
__enter__() I2CDevice

Context manager entry to lock bus.

__exit__() None

Automatically unlocks the bus on exit.

readinto(buffer: _typing.WriteableBuffer, *, start: int = 0, end: int = sys.maxsize) None

Read into buffer from the device.

If start or end is provided, then the buffer will be sliced as if buffer[start:end] were passed. The number of bytes read will be the length of buffer[start:end].

Paramètres:
  • buffer (WriteableBuffer) – read bytes into this buffer

  • start (int) – beginning of buffer slice

  • end (int) – end of buffer slice; if not specified, use len(buffer)

write(buffer: _typing.ReadableBuffer, *, start: int = 0, end: int = sys.maxsize) None

Write the bytes from buffer to the device, then transmit a stop bit.

If start or end is provided, then the buffer will be sliced as if buffer[start:end] were passed, but without copying the data. The number of bytes written will be the length of buffer[start:end].

Paramètres:
  • buffer (ReadableBuffer) – write out bytes from this buffer

  • start (int) – beginning of buffer slice

  • end (int) – end of buffer slice; if not specified, use len(buffer)

write_then_readinto(out_buffer: _typing.ReadableBuffer, in_buffer: _typing.WriteableBuffer, *, out_start: int = 0, out_end: int = sys.maxsize, in_start: int = 0, in_end: int = sys.maxsize) None

Write the bytes from out_buffer to the device, then immediately reads into in_buffer from the device.

If out_start or out_end is provided, then the buffer will be sliced as if out_buffer[out_start:out_end] were passed, but without copying the data. The number of bytes written will be the length of out_buffer[out_start:out_end].

If in_start or in_end is provided, then the input buffer will be sliced as if in_buffer[in_start:in_end] were passed, The number of bytes read will be the length of out_buffer[in_start:in_end].

Paramètres:
  • out_buffer (ReadableBuffer) – write out bytes from this buffer

  • in_buffer (WriteableBuffer) – read bytes into this buffer

  • out_start (int) – beginning of out_buffer slice

  • out_end (int) – end of out_buffer slice; if not specified, use len(out_buffer)

  • in_start (int) – beginning of in_buffer slice

  • in_end (int) – end of in_buffer slice; if not specified, use len(in_buffer)

class adafruit_bus_device.SPIDevice(spi: busio.SPI, chip_select: microcontroller.Pin, *, baudrate: int = 100000, polarity: int = 0, phase: int = 0, extra_clocks: int = 0)

SPI Device Manager

Represents a single SPI device and manages locking the bus and the device address.

Paramètres:
  • spi (SPI) – The SPI bus the device is on

  • chip_select (DigitalInOut) – The chip select pin object that implements the DigitalInOut API.

  • cs_active_value (bool) – Set to true if your device requires CS to be active high. Defaults to false.

  • extra_clocks (int) – The minimum number of clock cycles to cycle the bus after CS is high. (Used for SD cards.)

Example:

import busio
import digitalio
from board import *
from adafruit_bus_device.spi_device import SPIDevice
with busio.SPI(SCK, MOSI, MISO) as spi_bus:
    cs = digitalio.DigitalInOut(D10)
    device = SPIDevice(spi_bus, cs)
    bytes_read = bytearray(4)
    # The object assigned to spi in the with statements below
    # is the original spi_bus object. We are using the busio.SPI
    # operations busio.SPI.readinto() and busio.SPI.write().
    with device as spi:
        spi.readinto(bytes_read)
    # A second transaction
    with device as spi:
        spi.write(bytes_read)
__enter__() busio.SPI

Starts a SPI transaction by configuring the SPI and asserting chip select.

__exit__() None

Ends a SPI transaction by deasserting chip select. See Lifetime and ContextManagers for more info.
