Accomplished
Wrote a C extension for sysfs entries and added it to the library. -
This week :
Working to debug a Stepper Motor library that agwatic contributed.
Work on the SPI library
change capemanager to use the C extension I previously wrote
WEEK 2
-
Accomplished
I wrote the I2C documentation.
Debugged the stepper library.
figured out the Device Tree -
Issues
We decided to do the eQEP driver first and then the SPI.
The stepper motor driver IC I have doesn’t work so couldn’t test it although the output voltage levels were fine. Anyway we figured that sysfs for GPIO is not fast so its not priority.
Since cape_manager.py is called only once during setup Alex said there wouldn’t be a point do a C extension for it. Anyway the unloading the overlay part is too much work with all the string manipulation.

Next Week
The eQEP driver and getting started on SPI.
-
So the week after I have exams (from June 4th) so I’m not working that week since I only have a day and a half in between exams.
WEEK 3
I had exams this week so I didn’t get anything done.
Agenda for Week 4:
- SPI library
- get gstreamer to work with PyBBIO
- eQEP driver is not working so fix that (though Alex is doing that)
WEEK 5
-
Accomplished
-
SPI library is done.
-
I figured out what to do for the camera library.
-
Issues
-
I still had 1 exam left so lost 2 days on that. But I’m done now.
-
The SPI IC I have is a surface mount. So I’ll go to college and get it running by soldering wires tomorrow.The SPI IC I have is a surface mount.- Next Week
SPI example
Camera Library which involves writing a program to capture the video from the driver and setting up the gstreamer pipeline
WEEK 6
The Camera Library will look something like:
class Webcam(object):
def init(self, camera_num=0):
self.device = ‘/dev/video%i’ % camera
def saveImage(self, filename):
…
def startRecording(self, filename):
…
def stopRecording(self):
…
def startStreaming(self, port):
…
def stopStreaming(self):
…

Sorry, forgot these were all posted to G+ if not here.
Hello Rekha,
I would like to contribute towards the development of PyBBIO library. I can work towards feature addition and bug fixing for the library. Hope you’ll help me in my endeavor.
Thanks
Sure.
