periph

Peripheral chip drivers for MicroPython, CircuitPython, and Linux

• Three targets — MicroPython, CircuitPython, and Linux (/dev/i2c-N via smbus2)
• Same driver code everywhere — only the connection class changes per platform
• Two-tier API — *Minimal for the primary use case, *Full for complete chip functionality

Install

pip install periph

On MicroPython/CircuitPython, copy the periph/ package onto the device's filesystem (or freeze it into the firmware) instead.

Example

from periph.connection.i2c_auto import I2CConnection
from periph.chips.power.ina226 import INA226Minimal
import time

connection = I2CConnection(0x40)
ina = INA226Minimal(connection)

while True:
    print(ina.voltage(), ina.current(), ina.power())
    time.sleep(1)

I2CConnection above resolves to the right platform implementation automatically (MicroPython machine.I2C, CircuitPython busio.I2C, or Linux /dev/i2c-N).

Each chip exposes two classes:

• *Minimal — primary use case, works out of the box with sensible defaults
• *Full — complete chip functionality, extends Minimal
