Implementing a SparkFun Qwiic I2C interface, these devices can be rapidly added to any project with boards that are part of the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem.\n\nThis repository implements a Python package for the SparkFun Qwiic PISERVOHAT. This package works with Python, MicroPython and CircuitPython.\n\n### Contents\n\n* [About](#about-the-package)\n* [Installation](#installation)\n* [Supported Platforms](#supported-platforms)\n* [Documentation](https://docs.sparkfun.com/piservohat_py/classpi__servo__hat_1_1_pi_servo_hat.html)\n* [Examples](#example-use)\n\n## About the Package\n\nThis python package enables the user to access the features of the PISERVOHAT via a single Qwiic cable. This includes servo sweeping, changing PWM frequency and more. The capabilities of the PISERVOHAT are each demonstrated in the included examples.\n\nNew to qwiic? Take a look at the entire [SparkFun qwiic ecosystem](https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic).\n\n### Supported SparkFun Products\n\nThis Python package supports the following SparkFun qwiic products on Python, MicroPython and Circuit python. \n\n* [SparkFun Servo/PWM Controller - PISERVOHAT](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15316)\n\n### Supported Platforms\n\n| Python | Platform | Boards |\n|--|--|--|\n| Python | Linux | [Raspberry Pi](https://www.sparkfun.com/raspberry-pi-5-8gb.html) , [NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano](https://www.sparkfun.com/nvidia-jetson-orin-nano-developer-kit.html) via the [SparkFun Qwiic SHIM](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-qwiic-shim-for-raspberry-pi.html) |\n| MicroPython | Raspberry Pi - RP2, ESP32 | [SparkFun Pro Micro RP2350](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-pro-micro-rp2350.html), [SparkFun IoT RedBoard ESP32](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-iot-redboard-esp32-development-board.html), [SparkFun IoT RedBoard RP2350](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-iot-redboard-rp2350.html)\n|CircuitPython | Raspberry Pi - RP2, ESP32 | [SparkFun Pro Micro RP2350](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-pro-micro-rp2350.html), [SparkFun IoT RedBoard ESP32](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-iot-redboard-esp32-development-board.html), [SparkFun IoT RedBoard RP2350](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-iot-redboard-rp2350.html)\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e The listed supported platforms and boards are the primary platform targets tested. It is fully expected that this package will work across a wide variety of Python enabled systems. \n\n## Installation \n\nThe first step to using this package is installing it on your system. The install method depends on the python platform. The following sections outline installation on Python, MicroPython and CircuitPython.\n\n### Python \n\n#### PyPi Installation\n\nThe package is primarily installed using the `pip3` command, downloading the package from the Python Index - \"PyPi\". \n\nNote - the below instructions outline installation on a Linux-based (Raspberry Pi) system.\n\nFirst, setup a virtual environment from a specific directory using venv:\n```sh\npython3 -m venv path/to/venv\n```\nYou can pass any path as path/to/venv, just make sure you use the same one for all future steps. For more information on venv [click here](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).\n\nNext, install the qwiic package with:\n\n```sh\npath/to/venv/bin/pip3 install sparkfun-pi-servo-hat\n```\nNow you should be able to run any example or custom python scripts that have `import pi_servo_hat` by running e.g.:\n\n```sh\npath/to/venv/bin/python3 example_script.py\n```\n\n### MicroPython Installation\nIf not already installed, follow the [instructions here](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/mpremote.html) to install mpremote on your computer.\n\nConnect a device with MicroPython installed to your computer and then install the package directly to your device with mpremote mip.\n```sh\nmpremote mip install github:sparkfun/piservohat_py\n```\n\nIf you would also like to install the examples for this repository, issue the following mip command as well:\n```sh\nmpremote mip install github:sparkfun/piservohat_py@examples\n```\n\n### CircuitPython Installation\nIf not already installed, follow the [instructions here](https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects/circup/en/latest/#installation) to install CircUp on your computer.\n\nEnsure that you have the latest version of the SparkFun Qwiic CircuitPython bundle. \n```sh\ncircup bundle-add sparkfun/Qwiic_Py\n```\n\nFinally, connect a device with CircuitPython installed to your computer and then install the package directly to your device with circup.\n```sh\ncircup install --py pi_servo_hat\n```\n\nIf you would like to install any of the examples from this repository, issue the corresponding circup command from below. (NOTE: The below syntax assumes you are using CircUp on Windows. Linux and Mac will have different path seperators. See the [CircUp \"example\" command documentation](https://learn.adafruit.com/keep-your-circuitpython-libraries-on-devices-up-to-date-with-circup/example-command) for more information)\n\n```sh\ncircup example pi_servo_hat\\ex1_full_sweep_with_90_deg_servo\ncircup example pi_servo_hat\\ex2_full_sweep_with_180_deg_servo\ncircup example pi_servo_hat\\ex3_get_position_180_deg_servo\ncircup example pi_servo_hat\\ex4_change_pwm_frequency_180_deg_servo\n```\n\nExample Use\n ---------------\nBelow is a quickstart program to print readings from the PISERVOHAT.\n\nSee the examples directory for more detailed use examples and [examples/README.md](https://github.com/sparkfun/qwiic_piservohat_py/blob/main/examples/README.md) for a summary of the available examples.\n\n```python\nimport pi_servo_hat\nimport time\n\ntest = pi_servo_hat.PiServoHat()\n\ntest.restart()\n\ntest.move_servo_position(0, 0)\n\ntime.sleep(1)\n\ntest.move_servo_position(0, 90)\n\ntime.sleep(1)\n\nwhile True:\n    for i in range(0, 90):\n        print(i)\n        test.move_servo_position(0, i)\n        time.sleep(.001)\n    for i in range(90, 0, -1):\n        print(i)\n        test.move_servo_position(0, i)\n        time.sleep(.001)\n\n\n```\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/custom_pages/3/3/4/dark-logo-red-flame.png\" alt=\"SparkFun - Start Something\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsparkfun%2Fpiservohat_py","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsparkfun%2Fpiservohat_py","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsparkfun%2Fpiservohat_py/lists"}
