adafruit-circuitpython-display-analogclock 1.0.1

Draw a traditional 12-hour analog clock face with hour and minute hands. Allows you to provide graphics to customize the clock.

Introduction

Draw a traditional 12-hour analog clock face with hour and minute hands. Allows you to provide graphics to customize the clock.

Dependencies

This library depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

• Adafruit Display Text

• Adafruit ImageLoad

• Adafruit Anchored TileGrid

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle or individual libraries can be installed using circup.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-display-analogclock

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-display-analogclock

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-display-analogclock

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

circup install adafruit_display_analogclock

Or the following command to update an existing version:

circup update

Usage Example

import board

from adafruit_display_analogclock import AnalogClock

display = board.DISPLAY

plain_clockface = AnalogClock(
    "green_hour_hand.bmp",
    "green_minute_hand.bmp",
    (120, 120),
    106,
    number_label_scale=2,
    number_label_color=0x00FF00,
)

display.root_group = plain_clockface

plain_clockface.set_time(3, 30)

while True:
    pass
