dln2 — Unified DLN2 USB I/O Board Wrapper

Drop-in replacement for the four independent dln2_*_wrapper packages.
All modules share a single USB connection — no echo-counter conflicts, no USB contention.

Originally developed for the Pico USB I/O Board.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/syabyr/dln2_wrapper

Requires: pyusb

Quick Start

from dln2 import Dln2Connection, SpiDev, GPIO, SMBus, ADC

conn = Dln2Connection()          # one USB connection

# ── SPI ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
spi = SpiDev(conn)
spi.mode = 3
spi.max_speed_hz = 16_000_000
rx = spi.xfer2([0x9F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00])  # JEDEC ID

# ── GPIO ────────────────────────────────────────────────
gpio = GPIO(conn)
gpio.enable_pin(25)
gpio.set_direction(25, "out")
gpio.write(25, 1)                 # set pin HIGH
val = gpio.read(25)               # read pin level

# ── I2C ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
i2c = SMBus(conn)
i2c.open()
devices = []
for addr in range(1, 128):
    try:
        i2c.write_byte(addr, 0)
        devices.append(addr)
    except: pass

# ── ADC ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
adc = ADC(conn, vref=3.3)
volts = adc.read_volts(0)         # read channel 0 voltage

conn.close()

Multi-Device Support

from dln2 import list_devices, Dln2Connection

for d in list_devices():
    print(f"[{d.index}] serial={d.serial}")

lcd_conn = Dln2Connection(index=0)     # first board — ST7789 display
nfc_conn = Dln2Connection(index=1)     # second board — NFC reader
# or by exact serial:
# conn = Dln2Connection(serial="4250304B38353817")

Module API

SpiDev

spidev-compatible API: xfer(), xfer2(), writebytes(), readbytes(),
mode, max_speed_hz, bits_per_word, cshigh, lsbfirst, host_hold_cs

GPIO

set_direction(pin, "in"|"out"), write(pin, value), read(pin),
toggle(pin), get_direction(pin), set_event(pin, type), poll_event()

SMBus

smbus-compatible API: write_byte(), read_byte_data(),
write_word_data(), read_word_data(), read_block_data(),
write_block_data(), write_i2c_block_data(), read_i2c_block_data()

ADC

read_channel(channel), read_all(), read_volts(channel),
set_resolution(bits), enable_channel(ch), disable_channel(ch)

BME280

read_chip_id(), get_temperature(), get_humidity(), get_pressure(),
get_altitude(), get_all()

CLI Commands

After installation, the following commands are available:

# GPIO
dln2-gpio-info --pin 2
dln2-gpio-toggle --pin 25 --count 5 --interval 0.2
dln2-gpio-watch --pin 2 --timeout-ms 500

# ADC
dln2-adc-info
dln2-adc-watch --channel 0 --interval 0.5

# I2C
dln2-i2c-scan
dln2-i2c-test --address 0x76 --register 0xD0 --read 1

# BME280
dln2-bme280 --address 0x76 --pretty

# SPI
dln2-spi-test
dln2-bpw-test

Examples (as scripts)

# SPI JEDEC ID read
python3 examples/spidev_test.py

# GPIO pin toggle (default: Pico LED)
python3 examples/gpio_toggle.py --pin 25

# I2C bus scan
python3 examples/i2c_scan.py

# ADC monitor
python3 examples/adc_info.py
