RPiGPIO.makertools

Python library for using the GPIO on RaspberryPi with examples.

Installation

To install the RPiGPIO.makertools library, you first have to clone the git repo:

git clone https://git.privacynerd.de/dotmakertools/RPiGPIO.makertools.git

After this is done, cd into RPiGPIO.makertools and type:

python3 setup.py install

This will copy the required package files to your python installation point (or, in case of a virtual environment, to the lib directory of the env folder) and install all requirements.

When you want to use devices which communicate over I²C, you probably first have to enable with raspi-config:

  • Interface Options
  • I2C
  • Yes and OK

That's it! Now you can use the library in Python by importing it:

import RPiGPIOmakertools
