razvanphp / Adafruit_CircuitPython_ServoKit

CircuitPython helper library for the PWM/Servo FeatherWing, Shield and Pi HAT kits.

Introduction

CircuitPython helper library for the PWM/Servo FeatherWing, Shield and Pi HAT and Bonnet kits.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython
• Bus Device
• Register

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

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-servokit

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

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-servokit

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

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

Usage Example

import time
from adafruit_servokit import ServoKit

# Set channels to the number of servo channels on your kit.
# 8 for FeatherWing, 16 for Shield/HAT/Bonnet.
kit = ServoKit(channels=8)

kit.servo[0].angle = 180
kit.continuous_servo[1].throttle = 1
time.sleep(1)
kit.continuous_servo[1].throttle = -1
time.sleep(1)
kit.servo[0].angle = 0
kit.continuous_servo[1].throttle = 0
