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"...
Overhaul the pi_info system:
Pin factories are now capable of generating pi_info themselves (although
currently they all just look up the revision and call pi_info with a
specific one).
PiGPIOPin will now return pi_info for the remote pi which can be
specified by parameter or implicitly by the environment vars.
Overvolted Pis should work properly no matter what (some argument over
whether the revision 7 or 8 chars in this case; both should work). Added
some minor tweaks for the new camera-capable Pi Zero
Finally, added a bunch of tests for pins.data
While the tests work well on a PC or Travis, the Pi (where I ought to be
running them!) has some issues with the timing tests. Need to relax the
tolerance of the "assert_states_and_times" method to 0.05 seconds
otherwise it periodically fails even on something reasonably quick like
a Pi 2 (less failures on a Pi 3 but still occasionally).
Also reduced default fps to 25; if the default timing occasionally fails
on a Pi 2 it's evidently too fast for a Pi 1 and shouldn't be the
default; 25 also doesn't look any different to me on a pulsing LED.
There's also a bunch of miscellaneous fixes in here; last minute typos
and chart re-gens for the 1.2 release.
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!
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 is just a quicky for people to start playing with - it's not
complete in any way, shape, or form. This is how I envisage the "real"
pin tests being done; part of the test suite with a `skipif` to ensure
they don't get run on non-Pi platforms, with a fixture to loop over
whatever pin implementations are found (we can't always assume all of
them: for example, RPIO doesn't work on a Pi 2), and a relatively simple
wiring for the test.
In this case I've assumed GPIOs 22 and 27 are wired together. They're
next to each other, so a jumper is sufficient to run the test.
PRs extending the coverage are very welcome (I've already discovered and
fixed several silly bugs in NativePin!). I've left all the interesting
hard stuff for people to play with (PWM testing: statistical sampling?
debounce compensation testing: timing?). When I've got a second, I'll
looking into hooking up my Pi Zero as a Travis-esque test-bed for this,
triggered by GitHub webhooks (not sure how I'll deal with reporting
yet).
Change MockPin (and MockPWMPin) to make them behave more like 'real' pins - fixes#206
Add new MockPin tests, and rework some of the existing ones
Incorporate #216
* rename FUNCTION / PULL / EDGES dictionaries so that they better-match the other `Pin` implementations
* throw `PinSetInput` if trying to set the state of an input pin
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.
