Portal Style Library for the Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython Connection Manager <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_ConnectionManager/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython CST8XX <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_CST8XX/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython FocalTouch <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_FocalTouch/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython MiniMQTT <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MiniMQTT/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython MiniQR <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MiniQR/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython PCA9554 <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PCA9554/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython PortalBase <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PortalBase/>_
• Adafruit CircuitPython Requests <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Requests/>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>_ or individual libraries can be installed using circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>_.

• Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3 for TTL RGB-666 Displays

Purchase one from the Adafruit shop <http://www.adafruit.com/products/5800>_

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-qualia/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-qualia

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-qualia

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-qualia

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

circup install adafruit_qualia

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

circup update

Usage Example

.. code-block:: python

from adafruit_qualia import Qualia
from adafruit_qualia.graphics import Displays

# Set a data source URL
TEXT_URL = "http://wifitest.adafruit.com/testwifi/index.html"

# Create the PyPortal object
qualia = Qualia(Displays.SQUARE34, url=TEXT_URL)

# Go get that data
print("Fetching text from", TEXT_URL)
data = qualia.fetch()

# Print out what we got
print("-" * 40)
print(data)
print("-" * 40)
