AS1170 Python Library

Description

This library allows control of the AS1170 driver via I2C on Raspberry Pi, enabling LED management with simple commands like led1.on() and led1.off().

Installation

Since Raspberry Pi OS has stricter package management, it is recommended to install the library in a virtual environment to avoid conflicts.

1 Install Python Virtual Environment

If venv is not installed, run:

sudo apt install python3-venv

2 Create a Virtual Environment

Inside your project folder:

python3 -m venv venv

3 Activate the Virtual Environment

source venv/bin/activate

4 Install the Library

pip install as1170

5 Using the Library

from as1170.driver import led

led.on()
time.sleep(1)
led.off()

6 Deactivate the Virtual Environment

Uninstallation

To remove the library from your virtual environment:

pip uninstall as1170

If you want to completely remove the virtual environment:

rm -rf venv
