Release History

Future

  • Complete MAX30102
  • Tidy up ADS112C04
  • Tidy up IMU devices
  • ST7735 / ST7789 displays
  • Stepper motors
  • Tidy up sampleapps with sub-packages as per diozero core (api, devices, motor, util, sbc, …)
  • SPI support for Arduino devices over Firmata
  • Waveshare 7.5” e-ink display
  • Optimise GpioExpander when used for Software PWM output on multiple pins. Currently GpioExpander.setValues() will be invoked multiple times, once per pin, whereas a single call for multiple pins should be used instead. MultiplexedSoftwarePwmOutput?
  • Introduce PrimitiveDevice and Device interfaces / classes (“.api” and “.device” packages respectively)
  • Ensure that all devices (“.devices” package) use composition rather then inheritance of PrimitiveDevice (“.api” package), i.e. LED, LDR, etc.

  • Additional interfaces representing generic physical behaviour, e.g. movement, acceleration, similar to existing MotorInterface, BarometerInterface, etc.
  • MFRC522 cleanup and testing, in particular write operations
  • Remove the need to add board providers - have a generic one that works off the detected System on a Chip (SoC)
