rpi-app-framework 0.1.4

A Python framework for building applications on all Raspberry Pi versions, including Pico.

RPi App Framework Modular framework for all Raspberry Pi models (Pico 2 W with MicroPython/Thonny, full RPi 1-5 with Python). Installation For MicroPython/Pico (Thonny):

Copy the rpi_app_framework folder to /lib on your Pico.

For full Python/RPi:

pip install rpi-app-framework

Usage Create a main.py to start your app:

examples/simple_demo.py

from rpi_app_framework import RPIApp, PiHardwareAdapter import time

class SimpleDemo(RPIApp): """ Minimal demo that shows: • Board model detection • CPU temperature monitoring • On-board LED blinking Works on Pico 2 W and all full-size Raspberry Pi models. """

def setup(self):
    # Initialise the hardware adapter
    self.hw = PiHardwareAdapter(log_func=self.log)

    # Use the onboard LED (works on Pico and full RPi)
    self.status_led = self.hw.led("LED" if "Pico" in self.hw.model else 13)

    # Log startup info
    self.log(f"Running on: {self.hw.model}")
    self.log(f"Initial CPU temperature: {self.hw.cpu_temperature}°C")

def run(self):
    while self.running:
        # Blink the LED
        self.status_led.value(1)
        time.sleep(0.5)
        self.status_led.value(0)

        # Log temperature every 5 seconds
        self.log(f"CPU temperature: {self.hw.cpu_temp}°C")
        time.sleep(4.5)

if name == "main": SimpleDemo(max_log_files=10).start()

Compatibility

Pico 2 W (MicroPython): Uses machine for pins/PWM. Full RPi (Python): Uses RPi.GPIO and gpiozero for pins/PWM.

Features

RPIApp: Base class for app lifecycle and logging. DeviceManager: Base for hardware managers with logging. LEDSimple: Controls LEDs (on/off/blink). WiFiManager: Manages WiFi connections (Pico only). MotorDriverTB6612FNG: Controls dual DC motors. MicrodotManager: Runs a lightweight web server.
