Sensors

The UPM repository provides software drivers for a wide variety of commonly used sensors and actuators. These software drivers interact with the underlying hardware platform (or microcontroller), as well as with the attached sensors, through calls to MRAA APIs. UPM Github

UPM Python Examples

from time import sleep
import pyupm_grove as grove

# New knob on AIO pin 0
knob = grove.GroveRotary(0)

# Loop indefinitely
while True:

    # Read values
    abs = knob.abs_value()
    absdeg = knob.abs_deg()
    absrad = knob.abs_rad()

    rel = knob.rel_value()
    reldeg = knob.rel_deg()
    relrad = knob.rel_rad()

    print "Abs values: %4d" % int(abs) , " raw %4d" % int(absdeg), "deg = %5.2f" % absrad , " rad ",
    print "Rel values: %4d" % int(rel) , " raw %4d" % int(reldeg), "deg = %5.2f" % relrad , " rad"

    # Sleep for 2.5 s
    sleep(2.5)
