PLEASE NOTE: This library may have breaking changes as development continues. Please read the changelog anytime you update the library!
The PWM Duty Cycle range was reversed in 0.0.15 from 100(off)-0(on) to 0(off)-100(on). Please update your code accordingly.
Adafruit's BeagleBone IO Python Library
This is a set of Python tools to allow GPIO, PWM, and ADC access on the BeagleBone using the Linux 3.8 Kernel and above (latest releases).
It has been tested on the 5-20 and 6-6 Angstrom image on the BeagleBone Black.
Note: BBIO has been renamed to Adafruit_BBIO.
Installation on Angstrom
Easiest:
/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org
opkg update && opkg install python-pip python-setuptools
pip install Adafruit_BBIOManual:
git clone git://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python.git
#set the date and time
/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org
#install dependency
opkg update && opkg install python-distutils
cd adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
python setup.py installInstallation on Ubuntu/Debian
Easiest:
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
sudo apt-get update

sudo rm -rf adafruit-beaglebone-io-pythonUsage
Using the library is very similar to the excellent RPi.GPIO library used on the Raspberry Pi. Below are some examples.
GPIO Setup
Import the library, and setup as GPIO.OUT or GPIO.IN:
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.OUT)You can also refer to the pin names:
GPIO.setup("GPIO0_26", GPIO.OUT)GPIO Output
Setup the pin for output, and write GPIO.HIGH or GPIO.LOW. Or you can use 1 or 0.:
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output("P8_14", GPIO.HIGH)GPIO Input
Inputs work similarly to outputs.:
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.IN)Polling inputs:
if GPIO.input("P8_14"):
print("HIGH")
else:
print("LOW")Waiting for an edge (GPIO.RISING, GPIO.FALLING, or GPIO.BOTH:
GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING)Detecting events:
GPIO.add_event_detect("P9_12", GPIO.FALLING)
#your amazing code here
#detect wherever:
if GPIO.event_detected("P9_12"):
print "event detected!"PWM:
import Adafruit_BBIO.PWM as PWM
#PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
PWM.start("P9_14", 50)
PWM.set_duty_cycle("P9_14", 25.5)
PWM.set_frequency("P9_14", 10)
PWM.stop("P9_14")
PWM.cleanup()
#set polarity to 1 on start:
PWM.start("P9_14", 50, 2000, 1)ADC:
import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
ADC.setup()
#read returns values 0-1.0
value = ADC.read("P9_40")
#read_raw returns non-normalized value
value = ADC.read_raw("P9_40")Running tests
Install py.test to run the tests. You'll also need the python compiler package for py.test.:
opkg update && opkg install python-compiler
#Either pip or easy_install
pip install -U pytest
easy_install -U pytestExecute the following in the root of the project:
