<h3>Adafruit Blinka Installation</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We use a special library called adafruit_blinka (named after Blinka, the
|
|
CircuitPython mascot) to provide the layer that translates the CircuitPython
|
|
hardware API to whatever library the Linux board provides.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, on Raspberry Pi we use the python RPi.GPIO library.
|
|
For any I2C interfacing we'll use ioctl messages to the /dev/i2c device.
|
|
For SPI we'll use the spidev python library, etc. These details don't matter
|
|
so much because they all happen underneath the adafruit_blinka layer.
