plin-linux 0.0.1

The python-plin package is a Python wrapper for the chardev API provided by the PEAK LIN Linux Beta.

Python PLIN library

The plin module provides a Python interface for interacting with PEAK devices such as the PCAN-USB Pro and PLIN-USB on Linux using the chardev API provided by the PEAK LIN Linux Beta. The PEAK Linux beta driver is required to use this library and is available here.

Examples

Runnable examples are located in the examples/ directory.

Master Example

from plin.plin import PLIN
from plin.enums import (PLINFrameChecksumType, PLINFrameDirection,
                        PLINFrameFlag, PLINMode)

# Initializes /dev/plin0 as a LIN master
master = PLIN(interface="/dev/plin0")

master.start(mode=PLINMode.MASTER, baudrate=19200)

# Get firmware version of the PEAK device
print(master.get_firmware_version())

# Get current status of the PEAK device
print(master.get_status())

# Add a publisher frame entry
master.set_frame_entry(id=0x22,
                       direction=PLINFrameDirection.PUBLISHER,
                       checksum_type=PLINFrameChecksumType.CLASSIC,
                       data=bytearray([0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04]))

# Add a subscriber frame entry
master.set_frame_entry(id=0x23,
                       direction=PLINFrameDirection.SUBSCRIBER_AUTO_LEN,
                       checksum_type=PLINFrameChecksumType.CLASSIC)

# Get frame entry
print(master.get_frame_entry(id=0x22))

# Add unconditional slot to schedule 0
master.add_unconditional_schedule_slot(schedule=0, delay_ms=10, id=0x22)
master.add_unconditional_schedule_slot(schedule=0, delay_ms=10, id=0x23)

# Get schedule 0 slots
print(master.get_schedule_slots(0))

# Start schedule 0
master.start_schedule(0)

# Set ID filter
master.set_id_filter(bytearray([0xff] * 8))

# Read frames
while True:
    result = master.read()
    print(result)

Slave Example

from plin.plin import PLIN
from plin.enums import PLINMode

# Initializes /dev/plin0 as a LIN slave
slave = PLIN(interface="/dev/plin0")

slave.start(mode=PLINMode.SLAVE, baudrate=19200)

# Set ID filter
slave.set_id_filter(bytearray([0xff] * 8))

# Read frames
while True:
    result = slave.read()
    print(result)

Unit Tests

Unit tests are located in the unit_tests/ directory and require a PEAK LIN device connected to run.
