Why ?

Access to I2C components from a very low cost interface, in pure python, over serial, parallel (maybe more in the future) interfaces, with a minimum hardware. This implementation is intended to be fast but simple and minimalist.

Features (0.3)

  • handle SDA and SCL pins
  • handle your own hardware interface simply adding your puthon driver in drivers directory,
  • auto-detect available interfaces (COM1, COM2, LPT1, etc...)
  • LM75/DS75 I2C sensors,
  • analyse SCL/SDA signals with pyScope :

    pyScope

Future features

  • add more I2C components,
  • add your own driver if you send it to me,

Example 

>>> import I2C
>>> import I2C.sensors

>>> i2c = I2C.BusI2C('COM2')
>>> i2c.bus.setSpeed(2000)  # you can set i2c speed adapted to your hardware
>>> sonde = I2C.sensors.LM75('Room 1', i2c)
>>> print "T =  %02.03f C" % sonde.getTemperature()

Example minimal serial port I2C interface


This interface is really low speed and minimalist, it's based on specific optos. You can find better also better solutions : http://www.standardics.nxp.com/support/documents/i2c/pdf/optoisolation.pdf

$ wget wget http://www.standardics.nxp.com/support/documents/i2c/pdf/optoisolation.pdf

Example minimal parallel port I2C interface

It-s possible to select SDA input signal, python driver can be easily adapted to you choice.

Python packages required

  • pySerial if you plan to use I2C over serial port
  • pyParallel if you plan to use I2C over parallel port 

$ sudo apt-cache search pyparallel
python-parallel - pyparallel - module encapsulating access for the parallel port

$ sudo apt-cache search pyserial
python-serial - pyserial - module encapsulating access for the serial port
python3-serial - pyserial - module encapsulating access for the serial port

Win32 platform

pyParallel need you install and start giveio.sys driver

Linuxes

pyParallel on linux is based on ppdev module, make sure ppdev module is loaded and not lp. add change device access rights to make non root users or add users in right group (lp group on most systems). Use a non production computer for this as the parallel port may not print normally after making these adjustments. On most systems, ppdev is not the default parallel port handler, you must make sure module ppdev is loaded : 
sudo modprobe ppde
sudo rmmod lp
sudo chmod go+rw /dev/parport0

Install from tarball

tar -xvzf pyI2C-0.3.tar.gz
cd pyI2C
python setup.py install

You actually can do a minimal windowing from the command line in Linux with dvtm. Dvtm is excellent for low end machines where graphics are not a priority. In the picture shown we have a working clock, SC a spreadsheet that you can easily export data to your favorite desktop spreadsheet such as Libreoffice, Links2 a web browser pointed to www.google.com, and finally nano a pretty decent basic text editor. I prefer vim, but nano has more of a user interface. Cheatsheet: `dvtm` is one simple, easy-to-use terminal multiplexer. Commonly used Options:     -v         prints version information to standard output, then exits.         -m <mod>   set default modifier at runtime.         [cmd...]   Execute cmd after dvtm is started. KeyBoard Shortcuts:     Mod    Each keybinding begins with Mod which defaults to ^g but can  be               changed in config.h or with the -m command line option.                       Mod-c  Create a new shell window.            Mod-x  Cl

Web.com and Network Solutions, the Walmart of the internet.

Web.com bought Network Solutions last month, and also has bought Register.com . Web.com picked up Network Solutions for $405M plus some stock. I have been using an e-commerce package form Network Solution for two years. I wouldn’t have noticed the buy out as the Network Solutions site has not changed. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Network Solutions was offering some new products such as Gorilla Online Marketing . Soon after that we received a sales call about Gorilla Online Marketing from Network Solutions. When I returned the call the phone was answered by Register.com, I was confused at first but quickly found out about the buy outs. They seem like a good fit, they all target the same types of small to medium size businesses. Network Solution has always had great customer support in my opinion. Their sales people are a little irritating sometimes but they beat the heck out of GoDaddy.com and Comodo.com and you can’t beat the prices. If you can beat the prices ask them for a
