Unwired One gpio Python bindings

Python bindings for the Unwired One's gpio.

Downloading

Download from releases on Github

Usage

Import unwired.gpio, the following methods are available.

direction(gpio, direction): Set the direction of a gpio pin. gpio and direction are numbers. Make sure to use this, because the current state is unknown before calling it.

set(gpio, value): Set the value of a gpio pin. gpio and value are numbers.

read(gpio): Read the value of a gpio pin. gpio is a number.

Example script 'Blinking Led'

from unwired import gpio
from time import sleep

# Set pin 27 to output
gpio.direction(27, 1)

while True:
  gpio.set(27, 1)
  sleep(1)
  gpio.set(27, 0)
  sleep(1)

Compiling

To setup a build environment to build for the Unwired One see C/C++ Building Environment on the Unwired One wiki.

When you have a working installation, place this repository in the openwrt/package folder or create a symlink to this repository in that folder.

Register the module in make menuconfig by navigating to 'Languages' > 'Python' and selecting unwired-gpio-python.

make menuconfig

Create a .ipk file by running

make package/unwired-gpio-python/{prepare,compile}

from the openwrt folder.

You can find the unwired-gpio-python_1_ar71xx.ipk file in the bin/ar71xx/packages/base/ folder, copy this file to your Unwired One and install it with

opkg install unwired-gpio-python_1_ar71xx.ipk
