Sorry! Dave's messing around with the pin implementations again.
Hopefully the last time. The pin_factory is now really a factory object
which can be asked to produce individual pins or pin-based interfaces
like SPI (which can be supported properly via pigpio).
DistanceSensor currently doesn't work well in Python 2 due to large lags
in thread event primitives. The "full" fix will require enhancing the
pins API, so this is a temporary patch to provide a fix (at least under
RPi.GPIO) until then.
In particular the `pi_revision` thing in PiGPIOPin, all the stuff @lurch
picked up in `pins/data.py` (thank goodness *someone's* watching!), and
make all those links pointing to "Notes" point somewhere useful like
"Pin Numbering"...
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 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.
This commit is a fairly major piece of work that abstracts all pin
operations (function, state, edge detection, PWM, etc.) into a base
"Pin" class which is then used by input/output/composite devices to
perform all required configuration.
The idea is to pave the way for I2C based IO extenders which can present
additional GPIO ports with similar capabilities to the Pi's "native"
GPIO ports. As a bonus it also abstracts away the reliance on the
RPi.GPIO library to allow alternative pin implementations (e.g. using
RPIO to take advantage of DMA based PWM), or even pure Python
implementations.
The code is running on my Pi and seems to be stable
Have added MCP3301/3302/3304
have implemented the "M" bit to allow Differential mode
Have added an "absVal" for absolute values
Have added a "relVal" for relative val from 0 to 1 (same as "value")
left "value" for backwards compatabilety, but propse to delete it
shifted Rx bits for MCP330x

This removes the circular dependency introduced in PR#137. This also
fixes up an issue in the base meta-class which meant it wasn't working
in Python 3 (only Python 2), and adds a bit to the meta-class to allow
docstrings to be inherited (taken from the rest-docs branch).
Permit built-in (C implemented) methods and functions to be used as
event callbacks. Given that prototype introspection is not available for
such routines, assume that they take no (mandatory) parameters.
This finishes off implementing values and source for all (current)
classes in gpiozero. I'm afraid things get rather complex in this
commit. For starters, we've now got quite a few "aggregate" classes
which necessarily don't descend from GPIODevice. To implement values and
source on these I could either repeat a helluva lot of code or ... turn
to mixin classes. Yeah, it's multiple inheritance time, baby!
Unfortunately multiple inheritance doesn't work with __slots__ but we
really ought to keep functionality that they provide us (raise
AttributeError when an unknown attribute is set). So I've implemented
this with ... erm ... metaclasses. Sorry!
Add more property aliases and do them properly (no more lambdas and
string lookups) which means we can remove `_alias`. This commit also
defines `__slots__` for all classes which should prevent assignation of
invalid attributes with an AttributeError (more friendly than silently
doing the wrong thing). Finally, it cleans up all the property defs to
use Ben's preferred decorator style.
Make MotionSensor more responsive by effectively removing the averaging
queue. Also add note on how to smooth out "jittery" PIR sensors by
increasing the queue length back up to 5.
