pygpiotools 0.1.17

Python tools & API to control GPIO pins of common USB_to_UART converters

Python tools to control gpio pins on pl2303, cp210x and (maybe) others.


# Introduction

Remember those cheap usb-to-uart modules that have gpio pins? Want to control them from your app in linux, windows and (hopefully) mac. Old pl2303gpio doesn’t get the job done? This library aims to fix the problems.

# Hardware support matrix

# Installation

## Requirements

Any recent python 3.x. 3.7 and above should be good. Please report you successes so that I can add the information here.

Linux (and mac, perhaps) versions need pyusb. Windows versions need Visual Studio Build Tools installed. It’s a huge download, but it’s needed. Grab it at [Microsoft download site](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017).

## Building Installing python module

pip install .

This library will be uploaded to pypy once inital work and porting code from pl2303gpio is done.

pip install pygpiotools
