07-07-2017 Major Update - Now compatible with Python 2 and 3

Version 2.0.0 of the Python library has introduced several changes to the structure of the classes and demo files. The major changes are listed below. Please read CHANGELOG.md for a complete list of changes.

  • Files renamed: removed ABE_ from all names.
    ABE_ADCDACPi > ADCDACPi
    ABE_ADCDifferentialPi > ADCDifferentialPi
    ABE_ADCPi > ADCPi
    ABE_ExpanderPi > ExpanderPi
    ABE_IOPi > IOPi
    ABE_RTCPi > RTCPi
    ABE_ServoPi > ServoPi

  • All classes and demo files are now compatible with Python 2 and 3. The ABElectronics_Python3_Libraries will no longer be updated so please use this version instead for your Python 3 projects.

  • Moved all demo files into demo sub-folders for each class

  • The ABE_Helper class has been integrated into the board classes and does not need to be imported separately.

  • Added a setup.py into the root for installing the this library into the main Python library directory.

Previous versions of the Python libraries can be found at https://github.com/abelectronicsuk/Archive

Downloading and Installing the library

To download to your Raspberry Pi type in terminal:

git clone https://github.com/abelectronicsuk/ABElectronics_Python_Libraries.git

To install the python library navigate into the ABElectronics_Python_Libraries folder and run:

For Python 2.7:

sudo python setup.py install

For Python 3.5:

sudo python3 setup.py install

If you have PIP installed you can install the library directly from github with the following command:

For Python 2.7:

sudo python2.7 -m pip install git+https://github.com/abelectronicsuk/ABElectronics_Python_Libraries.git

For Python 3.5:

sudo python3.5 -m pip install git+https://github.com/abelectronicsuk/ABElectronics_Python_Libraries.git
