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

Raspberry pi zero.

Instead of getting the rpi zero w, I will just add a usb female to my existing pi for the time being.Have lots of leftover cables for the cause.. Can always plug in a wifi or bluetooth module.   Various notes: Simplest configuration to connect to an unsecured wireless router knowing it;s essid: #linux auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-essid router-essid  Improvisational solder less header pin for the rpi zero Original pi zero fully decked out. with bluetooth, wired m and wireless. Basic setup ----------------- install jessie os do updates install vim mc Wifi ------ Check Ethernet & Wifi Before continuing make sure the Ethernet cable is connected in and you can ping out from the Pi: ping 8.8.8.8 You will also want to set up your WiFi dongle. runsudo shutdown -h now and then plug in the WiFi module when the Pi is off so you don't cause a
