TinyGo Drivers

This package provides a collection of hardware drivers for devices that can be used together with TinyGo.

Installing

go get tinygo.org/x/drivers

How to use

Here is an example in TinyGo that uses the BMP180 digital barometer:

package main

import (
    "time"

    "machine"

    "tinygo.org/x/drivers/bmp180"
)

func main() {
    machine.I2C0.Configure(machine.I2CConfig{})
    sensor := bmp180.New(machine.I2C0)
    sensor.Configure()

    connected := sensor.Connected()
    if !connected {
        println("BMP180 not detected")
        return
    }
    println("BMP180 detected")

    for {
        temp, _ := sensor.ReadTemperature()
        println("Temperature:", float32(temp)/1000, "ºC")

        pressure, _ := sensor.ReadPressure()
        println("Pressure", float32(pressure)/100000, "hPa")

        time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
    }
}

Overview

Package drivers provides a collection of hardware drivers for TinyGo (https://tinygo.org) for devices such as sensors and displays.

Here is an example in TinyGo that uses the BMP180 digital barometer:

package main

import (
	"time"
	"machine"

	"tinygo.org/x/drivers/bmp180"
)

func main() {
	machine.I2C0.Configure(machine.I2CConfig{})
	sensor := bmp180.New(machine.I2C0)
	sensor.Configure()

	connected := sensor.Connected()
	if !connected {
		println("BMP180 not detected")
		return
	}
	println("BMP180 detected")

	for {
		temp, _ := sensor.ReadTemperature()
		println("Temperature:", float32(temp)/1000, "ºC")

		pressure, _ := sensor.ReadPressure()
		println("Pressure", float32(pressure)/100000, "hPa")

		time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
	}
}

Each individual driver is contained within its own sub-package within this package and there are no interdependencies in order to minimize the final size of compiled code that uses any of these drivers.

Constants

const Version = "0.10.0"

Version returns a user-readable string showing the version of the drivers package for support purposes. Update this value before release of new version of software.

Types

type Displayer

type Displayer interface {
	// Size returns the current size of the display.
	Size() (x, y int16)

	// SetPizel modifies the internal buffer.
	SetPixel(x, y int16, c color.RGBA)

	// Display sends the buffer (if any) to the screen.
	Display() error
