A library for adding bitbang I2C and SPI to CircuitPython without the built-in bitbangio module. The interface is intended to be the same as bitbangio and therefore there is no bit order or chip select functionality. If your board supports bitbangio, it is recommended to use that instead as the timing should be more reliable.
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bitbangioTo install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bitbangioTo install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bitbangio"""
This example is for demonstrating how to retrieving the
board ID from a BME280, which is stored in register 0xD0.
It should return a result of [96]
