A Python module to use most Arduino wiring functions on Intel® Arduino capable boards.
Project description
Wiring-x86 is a Python module that lets you use Arduino like functionality on an Intel® Galileo Gen2 board. It provides a simple API (similar to the WiringPi module) to talk to the GPIO pins on the board.
At the momment the Wiring-x86 library provides support to:
Writing to a GPIO pin configured as output.
Reading from a GPIO pin configured as high impedance input.
Reading from a GPIO pin configured as pullup input.
Reading from a GPIO pin configured as pulldown input.
Reading from a GPIO pin configured as analog input (ADC).
Writing to a GPIO pin configured as analog output (PWM).
Here is a simple example:
# Import the time module enable sleeps between turning the led on and off. import time # Import the GPIOGalileoGen2 class from the wiringx86 module. from wiringx86 import GPIOGalileoGen2 as GPIO # Create a new instance of the GPIOGalileoGen2 class. # Setting debug=True gives information about the interaction with sysfs. gpio = GPIO(debug=False) pin = 13 state = gpio.HIGH # Set pin 13 to be used as an output GPIO pin. print 'Setting up pin %d' % pin gpio.pinMode(pin, gpio.OUTPUT) print 'Blinking pin %d now...' % pin try: while(True): # Write a state to the pin. ON or OFF. gpio.digitalWrite(pin, state) # Toggle the state. state = gpio.LOW if state == gpio.HIGH else gpio.HIGH # Sleep for a while. time.sleep(0.5) # When you get tired of seeing the led blinking kill the loop with Ctrl-C. except KeyboardInterrupt: # Leave the led turned off. print '\nCleaning up...' gpio.digitalWrite(pin, gpio.LOW) # Do a general cleanup. Calling this function is not mandatory. gpio.cleanup()
The Wiring-x86 module is meant to be used on Intel® Galileo Gen2 platform with its original YOCTO Linux OS. For more information on the Intel® Galileo Gen2 board and how to get this software go to Intel® Makers site. This module will only work with that combination of board and OS since it uses the Intel® Galileo Gen2 GPIO driver sysfs interface.
