Documentation

__init__.py This module provides the SM24b8vin class which implements the functionality (for analog input, LED control, RTC, watchdog, and calibration) of the 24b8vin card.

class SM24b8vin.SM24b8vin(stack=0, i2c=1)

Bases: object

Python class to control the 24b8vin card (Eight 24-bit analog inputs).

This class provides methods to read the eight analog input channels, set/read the gain codes, control 8 LEDs, access the RTC, use the watchdog, and perform calibration operations.

• Parameters:
  • stack (int) – The device stack index (added to SLAVE_OWN_ADDRESS_BASE).
  • i2c (int) – I2C bus number.

get_all_leds()

Get the status of all LEDs as a bitmask.

• Returns: Bitmask of LED states.
• Return type: int

get_gain(channel)

Get gain setting for an analog input channel.

• Parameters: channel (int) – Channel number [1..{gain}].
• Returns: Gain code.
• Return type: int

get_led(led)

Get the state of a single LED.

• Parameters: led (int) – LED number [1..{led}].
• Returns: 1 (ON) or 0 (OFF).
• Return type: int

get_rtc()

Get the real–time clock (RTC) time.

• Returns: (year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
• Return type: tuple

get_u_in(channel)

Get analog input voltage for a given channel (in volts).

• Parameters: channel (int) – Channel number [1..{u_in}].
• Returns: Voltage value in volts.
• Return type: float

get_version()

Get the firmware version.

• Returns: Version string in the form “major.minor”.
• Return type: str

set_all_leds(bitmask)

Set all LEDs at once using a bitmask.

• Parameters: bitmask (int) – Bitmask value (0 to 2^(LED_CH_NO)-1).

set_gain(channel, gain)

Set the gain for an analog input channel.

• Parameters:
  • channel (int) – Channel number [1..{gain}].
  • gain (int) – Gain code (0–7).

set_led(led, state)

Set the state of a single LED.

• Parameters:
  • led (int) – LED number [1..{led}].
  • state (int) – 0 (OFF) or 1 (ON).

set_rtc(year, month, day, hour, minute, second)

Set the RTC time.

• Parameters:
  • year (int) – Full year (e.g. 2025)
  • month (int) – Date/time components.
  • day (int) – Date/time components.
  • hour (int) – Date/time components.
  • minute (int) – Date/time components.
  • second (int) – Date/time components.
