This library has been deprecated!
we are now only using our circuitpython sensor libraries in python
we are leaving the code up for historical/research purposes but archiving the repository.
check out this guide for using the mcp4725 with python! https://learn.adafruit.com/mcp4725-12-bit-dac-tutorial/python-circuitpython
Python code to use the MCP4725 digital to analog converter with a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone black.
To install the library from source (recommended) run the following commands on a Raspberry Pi or other Debian-based OS system:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_MCP4725.git
cd Adafruit_Python_MCP4725
sudo python setup.py install
Alternatively you can install from pip with:
sudo pip install adafruit-mcp4725
Note that the pip install method won't install the example code.
