SMBus-swift is a linux library to communicate with SMBus/I2C devices through /dev/i2c.

##Installation The library is being written for/on a Raspberry Pi where the Package Manager is not functional yet, so I couldn't really figure out a way to make it work with that, and you'll have to do it manually for now. After cloning, compile your program adding the 2 system dependencies and the main file, like

swiftc -o MyProgram -I ./SMBus-swift/Packages/Ci2c -I ./SMBus-swift/Packages/CioctlHelper ./SMBus-swift/Sources/SMBus.swift main.swift

You can look here for some examples on how to include the library in your program.

##Usage No need to import anything since the library is built together with your other sources. To open the connection create an SMBus object:

try bus = SMBus(busNumber: 1) // opens /dev/i2c-1

and then send your commands:

try bus.writeI2CBlockData(0x60, command: UInt8(0x01), values: [UInt8(2)])

##TODO

  • Add missing functions
  • Add documentation
  • Support Package Manager
