Advanced GPIO for the Raspberry Pi. Extends RPi.GPIO with GPIO interrups, TCP socket interrupts, a command line tool and more

RPIO is an advanced GPIO module for the Raspberry Pi.

• GPIO input and output (drop-in replacement for RPi.GPIO)

• GPIO interrupts (callbacks when events occur on input gpios)

• TCP socket interrupts (callbacks when tcp socket clients send data)

• PWM via DMA (up to 1µs resolution; 500kHz)

• Command-line tools rpio and rpio-curses

• Well documented, fast source code with minimal CPU usage

• Open source (GPLv3+)

Visit pythonhosted.org/RPIO for the documentation.
