CircuitPython helper library for the DC & Stepper Motor FeatherWing, Shield and Pi Hat kits.
This driver depends on:
Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>
_Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>
_Register <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Register>
_PCA9685 <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PCA9685>
_Motor <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Motor>
_Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>
_.
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit/>
_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit
DC motor example:
.. code-block:: python
import time
from adafruit_motorkit import MotorKit
kit = MotorKit()
kit.motor1.throttle = 1.0
time.sleep(0.5)
kit.motor1.throttle = 0
Stepper motor example:
.. code-block:: python
import time
from adafruit_motorkit import MotorKit
kit = MotorKit()
for i in range(100):
kit.stepper1.onestep()
