Total Phase Aardvark library

Project description

Python binding for Total Phase Aardvark

BuildStatus PyPiVersion Python versions

The Total Phase Aardvark is an USB I²C/SPI host adapter.

Rationale

The manufacturer already provides an python binding. So why a new one? This is correct, but the python binding you can find in the aardvark-linux-api package is very C oriented. Eg. you need to pass arrays as method parameters, which are then modified by the binding. Instead, this binding tries to be more pythonic.

Features

  • simple interface
  • CLI tool for easy testing
  • I²C and SPI support
  • support for control signals like target power and internal I²C pullups
  • rudimental I²C slave support
  • Support for Linux, Windows and OSX

(Still) Missing Features

  • more documentation (please bear with me)
  • GPIO support

Documentation

You can find the most up to date documentation at: http://pyaardvark.rtfd.org

Requirements

You need an either an x86, an amd64, an aarch64, an arm32 or a M1 machine. This is because the binding uses a binary-only module supplied by the manufacturer, Total Phase. Linux, Windows, and OSX are supported.

Python 2.7 support

The last version with python 2.7 support is 0.7.1.

Monitor support

Total Phase removed the monitor support in their binary modules in version 6.00. The last pyaardvark version which use the old binaries and thus still support montoring is 0.7.x.

Contributing
