Functions

func Init

func Init() (*periph.State, error)

Init calls periph.Init() and returns it as-is.

The only difference is that by calling host.Init(), you are guaranteed to have all the drivers implemented in this library to be implicitly loaded.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/meandrewdev/periph/host"
)

func main() {
	// Make sure periph is initialized.
	state, err := host.Init()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to initialize periph: %v", err)
	}

	// Prints the loaded driver.
	fmt.Printf("Using drivers:\n")
	for _, driver := range state.Loaded {
		fmt.Printf("- %s\n", driver)
	}

	// Prints the driver that were skipped as irrelevant on the platform.
	fmt.Printf("Drivers skipped:\n")
	for _, failure := range state.Skipped {
		fmt.Printf("- %s: %s\n", failure.D, failure.Err)
	}

	// Having drivers failing to load may not require process termination. It
	// is possible to continue to run in partial failure mode.
	fmt.Printf("Drivers failed to load:\n")
	for _, failure := range state.Failed {
		fmt.Printf("- %s: %v\n", failure.D, failure.Err)
	}

	// Use pins, buses, devices, etc.
}
