Also re-numbers energenie sockets 1-4 (as noted by @bennuttall in
comments to #239), and adds several "real pins" tests and board tests.
The bad-PWM stuff is currently disabled as it causes segfaults when
running the tests and I can't seem to trace the cause at the moment.
Finally, I've tweaked the deb config to suggest gpiozero, removed spidev
as a mandatory dep (which'll fix installs on wheezy for py3), and
there's some more miscellaneous last-minute stuff here that I can't
recall...
Related to @lurch's comments on #148, this PR contains a database of
pins for each Pi revision, along with various other bits of miscellany
(I might've gotten a bit carried away here...).
Any corrections/extensions welcome!
Me and my big mouth. No sooner do I declare the base classes "relatively
stable" than I go and mess around with it all again. Anyway, this is the
long promised set of utilities to make source/values more interesting.
It includes a few interesting little utility functions, a whole bunch of
examples and introduces the notion of "pseudo" devices with no (obvious)
hardware representation like a time-of-day device.
This necessitated making the event system a little more generic (it's
not exclusive the GPIO devices after all; no reason we can't use it on
composite devices in future) and by this point the mixins have gotten
large enough to justify their own module.
The pseudo-devices are a bit spartan and basic at the moment but I'm
sure there'll be plenty of future ideas...
Changed pin.function so that it's always read-write, which in turn
permits InputDevice to force pin.function to "input" rather than
checking that it's not "input" first. This ensures internal state in
RPi.GPIO and RPIO reflects the reality of each pin's function (see
discussion under the ticket for more detail).
This PR implements SnowPi, adds the ability for LEDBoard's to own other
LEDBoards as well as LEDs, and enhances blink so that manually
controlling a LED automatically stops it from blinking (no matter
whether it's blinking itself or a LEDBoard is blinking it).
It also fixes up RGBLED and Motor which I managed to break with the last
PR ...
This PR adds a software SPI implementation. Firstly this removes the
absolute necessity for spidev (#140), which also means when it's not
present things still work (effectively fixes#185), and also enables any
four pins to be used for SPI devices (which don't require the hardware
implementation).
The software implementation is simplistic but still supports clock
polarity and phase, select-high, and variable bits per word. However it
doesn't allow precise speeds to be implemented because it just wibbles
the clock as fast as it can (which being pure Python isn't actually that
fast).
Finally, because this PR involves creating a framework for "shared"
devices (like SPI devices with multiple channels), it made sense to bung
Energenie (#69) in as wells as this is a really simple shared device.
