This library provides a simple interface to the ftSwarm Serial API in a python 3 way.
To install the latest version of the library, run the following command:
pip install ftswarm-py
The library provides a simple interface to the ftSwarm Serial API. The following example shows how to connect to the ftSwarm and read a button named "button1" from the ftSwarm.
import asyncio
from swarm import FtSwarm
async def read_button():
swarm = FtSwarm("/dev/ttyUSB0") # Change this to your serial port
button = await swarm.get_button("button1")
print(button.get_state())
asyncio.run(read_button())
Let's just go over the code above. The following steps are performed:
- Creating an async context
- Creating a FtSwarm object with the serial port as parameter
- Getting the button named "button1" from the ftSwarm
- Printing the state of the button
Quite simple, right?
Another simple example can be found at the quickstart section of the documentation.
The library is documented using docstrings. You can also find the documentation on my website.
