Drivers for RTC chips DS1307, DS1337, DS1338, DS3231 and MCP7940 available

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Hi,

as already been announced in my WebIOPi driver guide here is the driver code 
for the chips above. The drivers expose the RTC and (for the chips that have 
it) also the SDRAM features. This comes along with new hardware abstraction 
packages for Clock and Memory. To use the drivers two new device subpackage 
directories have to be created in the WebIOPi Python source directory tree, 
namely devices/clock and devices/memory.

The files "clock__init__.py", "dsrtc.py" and "mcprtc.py" have to be put into 
the /clock directory. "clock__init__.py" has there to be renamed to standard 
"__init__.py".

The files "memory__init__.py" and "filememory.py" have to be put into the 
/memory directory. "memory__init__.py" has there to be renamed to standard 
"__init__.py". "filememory.py" contains an experimental driver to store some 
bytes on disk using standard Python pickle files.

"mananger.py" and "setup.py" as well as "webiopi.js" just replace their current 
counterparts.

Please do not forget to call "sudo ./setup.sh skip-apt" to make the updates 
active.

For usage instructions and device parameters look at the comments within the 
driver sources, I tried to make them informative.

Hi,

if have updated the drivers and the abstraction code a bit.

- The clock package contains now a new driver that allows to use the (Python) 
system clock (only for reading).
- The memory package has got some optimizations and now also has non-REST 
Python methods to read/write memory bytes very flexible. This may be used to 
control the RAM memory of e.g. display chips.

The usage instructions remain the same as above, the file "osrtc.py" goes into 
the /clock directory.

Just updated webiopi.js so that the problem with "banks" within GPIOPort does 
not occur any more. This was a remainder of my work for PCA9698 ...
