rpi-sx1280 0.0.2

Raspberry Pi LoRa library for SX1280

rpi-sx1280 - SX1280 Python library for Raspberry Pi

Easy to install and use, this library provides an essential API for any SX1280 LoRa module connected to your Raspberry Pi via the SPI interface.

Getting started

In order to use this library install it first:

pip install rpi-sx1280

Now you can use it within your code.

Basic module initialisation

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

from rpi_sx1280.sx1280 import SX1280


GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

spi_idx = 0
spi_cs = 1
busy_gpio_idx = 22
reset_gpio_idx = 17

lora = SX1280(spi_idx, spi_cs, busy_gpio_idx, reset_gpio_idx)

Developers guide

If you'd like to work on the library itself here are a few things you should know.

Requirements

This library by default uses the following tools, frameworks, etc.:

• Python 3 - main supported language
• hatch - used as project management tool for Python
• GitHub - used as version control, issue tracking, docs

Setup environment

1. Install python locally with pip. On Linux you can do this via: sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip.
2. Now install pipx as it is usually better to install hatch in this way to use it globally. sudo apt install pipx && pipx ensurepath and re-init the shell session.
3. Ready to start, setup local environment with hatch env create.

Running tests

Building project

Updating version

This library follows the semver principles. You can use hatch to update the version with necessary information.

To bump the version use hatch version <segment>.

Here you can find the supported segments docs: hatch.io > supported segments

Publishing

In order to publish the current state of the library you need to create a new tag and push it to the repository.

git tag -a 0.1.0 -m "Initial release"
git push origin 0.1.0

And the GitHub Actions will take care of the rest.
