Including spidev in python library

wambi · July 20, 2022 at 10:37 AM

Hi all,

at first thanks a lot for your work. Libreelec runs for me since years in an amplifier box. I've build an extension for estuary where I can switch audio sources for the amp and adjust the volume with a digital controlled potentiometer (TI PGA2310). For python 2 I found a ready built library of py-spidev which worked really fine. After upgrading to LE 10 this library does not work anymore of course. Now I tried to build py-spidev for python 3 using raspbian (32 Bit). But this library expects some dependencies which are not present on LE. So my question is: Could it be possible to include spidev in the core of LE?

Cheers, Stephan

I am working on the OLEDproc plugin. There I need several libraries (cbor2, smbus2, luma.oled, luma.core and spidev) as dependencies. That's why I made all the named libraries in the form of addons. For which device and for which LE version do you need spidev?

Do you have dtparam=spi=on at config.txt? If you build on Raspbian, use the 64 bit version.

Attached is script.module.spidev in four versions. The versions in the RPi2 folders should also work for the RPi3.

FYI, LE builds official add-ons for 3x "PROJECT=" buildsystem targets: x86_64, ARMv7, and ARMv8 - and that covers all hardware we support.
