adafruit-circuitpython-bluefruitconnect 1.0.8

CircuitPython library for use with the Adafruit Bluefruit Connect apps.

Introduction

This module helps you to communicate with the Adafruit Bluefruit Connect app or use its protocols.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Usage Example

Normally this library is used with the Adafruit_CircuitPython_BluefruitConnect library (adafruit_bluefruit_connect). The included examples use that library. Below is a simple standalone example.

from adafruit_bluefruit_connect.color_packet import ColorPacket
from adafruit_bluefruit_connect.gyro_packet import GyroPacket

# [uart setup omitted]

color_packet = ColorPacket((70,75,80))
gyro_packet = GyroPacket.from_bytes(packet_buf)
uart.write(gyro_packet.to_bytes())

Building locally

Zip release files

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-tools

Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:

source .env/bin/activate

Then run the build:

circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-bluefruitconnect --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-theme

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:

cd docs
sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

This 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.
