Introduction

CircuitPython I2C Button à la Sparkfun Qwiic Button/Switch/Arcade

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

• Bus Device

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

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 circuitpython-i2c-button

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

sudo pip3 install circuitpython-i2c-button

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install circuitpython-i2c-button

Usage Example

import board
import busio
from i2c_button import I2C_Button
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
button = I2C_Button(i2c)
print('firmware version is', button.version)
