# WiringPi for Python
WiringPi: An implementation of most of the Arduino Wiring functions for the Raspberry Pi.
WiringPi implements new functions for managing IO expanders.
# Quick Install
`pip install wiringpi`
# Usage
```python
import wiringpi
# One of the following MUST be called before using IO functions:
wiringpi.wiringPiSetup() # For sequential pin numbering
# OR
wiringpi.wiringPiSetupSys() # For /sys/class/gpio with GPIO pin numbering
# OR
wiringpi.wiringPiSetupGpio() # For GPIO pin numbering
```
**General IO:**
```python
wiringpi.pinMode(6, 1) # Set pin 6 to 1 ( OUTPUT )
wiringpi.digitalWrite(6, 1) # Write 1 ( HIGH ) to pin 6
wiringpi.digitalRead(6) # Read pin 6
```
**Setting up a peripheral:**
WiringPi supports expanding your range of available "pins" by setting up a port expander. The implementation details of
your port expander will be handled transparently, and you can write to the additional pins (starting from PIN_OFFSET >= 64)
as if they were normal pins on the Pi.
```python
wiringpi.mcp23017Setup(PIN_OFFSET, I2C_ADDR)
```
This example was tested on a quick2wire board with one digital IO expansion board connected via I2C:
```python
wiringpi.mcp23017Setup(65, 0x20)
wiringpi.pinMode(65, 1)
wiringpi.digitalWrite(65, 1)
```
**Soft Tone:**
Hook a speaker up to your Pi and generate music with softTone. Also useful for generating frequencies for other uses such as modulating A/C.
```python
wiringpi.softToneCreate(PIN)
wiringpi.softToneWrite(PIN, FREQUENCY)
```
**Bit shifting:**
```python
wiringpi.shiftOut(1, 2, 0, 123) # Shift out 123 (b1110110, byte 0-255) to data pin 1, clock pin 2
```
**Serial:**
```python
serial = wiringpi.serialOpen('/dev/ttyAMA0', 9600) # Requires device/baud and returns an ID
wiringpi.serialPuts(serial, "hello")
wiringpi.serialClose(serial) # Pass in ID
```
**SPI:**
The `wiringPiSPIDataRW()` function needs to be passed a `bytes` object in Python 3. In Python 2, it takes a string. The following should work in either Python 2 or 3:
```python
wiringpi.wiringPiSPISetup(channel, speed)
buf = bytes([your data here])
retlen, retdata = wiringpi.wiringPiSPIDataRW(0, buf)
```
Now, `retlen` will contain the number of bytes received/read by the call. `retdata` will contain the data itself, and in Python 3, `buf` will have been modified to contain it as well (that won't happen in Python 2, because then `buf` is a string, and strings are immutable).
**Full details of the API at:**
http://www.wiringpi.com
# Manual Build
## Get/setup repo
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Python.git
cd WiringPi-Python
```
Don't forget the `--recursive`; it is required to also pull in the WiringPi C code from its own repository.
## Prerequisites
To rebuild the bindings you **must** first have installed `swig`, `python-dev`, and `python-setuptools` (or their `python3-` equivalents).
WiringPi should also be installed system-wide for access to the `gpio` tool.
```bash
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools swig wiringpi
```
## Build & install with
`sudo python setup.py install`
Or Python 3:
`sudo python3 setup.py install`
