ftswarm.py 1.2.2

A Python library for the ftSwarm Python API

📚 Client library for the ftSwarm Serial API

This library provides a simple interface to the ftSwarm Serial API in a python 3 way.

⚙️ Installation

To install the latest version of the library, run the following command:

pip install ftswarm-py

🚲 Usage

The library provides a simple interface to the ftSwarm Serial API. The following example shows how to connect to the ftSwarm and read a button named "button1" from the ftSwarm.

import asyncio
from swarm import FtSwarm


async def read_button():
    swarm = FtSwarm("/dev/ttyUSB0")  # Change this to your serial port
    button = await swarm.get_button("button1")

    print(button.get_state())

asyncio.run(read_button())

Let's just go over the code above. The following steps are performed:

• Creating an async context
• Creating a FtSwarm object with the serial port as parameter
• Getting the button named "button1" from the ftSwarm
• Printing the state of the button

Quite simple, right?

Another simple example can be found at the quickstart section of the documentation.
