Use inky via pi zero GPIO expander mode #37
Comments
In my experience it's best to port the underlying transport libraries by "shimming" some custom code in their place. I'm surprised there's not a general purpose solution to this problem already out there. You would need to create fake versions of
And do the same for RPi.GPIO calls:
I can't say how fast this might be, but it should work. |
Some of the changes proposed to help support Inky pHAT simulation should also help you here. These include the ability to specify an SPI bus, I2C bus and GPIO object to replace inky = InkyPHAT(spi_bus=my_spi_bus, i2c_bus=my_i2c_bus, gpio=my_gpio) You will, however, still need to write some code to translate the method calls. |
Feature Request
I'm interested in using this library with the GPIO expander mode from a PC (https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/pi-zero-gpio-expander/). That way I could plug in the pi 0 with an inky phat display, update the inky display, and unplug. No OS required.
How hard would this be to port and use in that fashion?
