gpiozero
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
A simple interface to everyday GPIO components used with Raspberry Pi
|
|
|
|
Latest release: v0.7.0 Beta 2
|
|
|
|
Motivation
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The "hello world" program in Java is at least 5 lines long, and contains 11
|
|
jargon words which students are taught to ignore.
|
|
|
|
The "hello world" program in Python is one simple line. However, the "hello
|
|
world" of physical computing in Python (flashing an LED) is similar to the Java
|
|
program: 6 lines of code to flash an LED.
|
|
|
|
Young children and beginners shouldn't need to sit and copy out several lines
|
|
of text they're told to ignore. They should be able to read their code and
|
|
understand what it means.
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Install with pip::
|
|
|
|
sudo pip install gpiozero
|
|
sudo pip-3.2 install gpiozero
|
|
|
|
Both Python 3 and Python 2 are supported. Python 3 is recommended!
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Example usage for lighting up an LED::
|
|
|
|
from gpiozero import LED
|
|
|
|
led = LED(2)
|
|
led.on()
|
