Using the SparkFun Qwiic Joystick on Raspberry Pi with #CircuitPython #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi @SparkFun @Adafruit @Gastonwnc
On Twitter, user @Gastonwnc has written a CircuitPython driver for connecting a Raspberry Pi to the SparkFun Qwiic Joystick.
The code is very well written to be compatible with the SparkFun hardware and CircuitPython software. Five examples are even provided.
Code Example:
# import the CircuitPython board and busio libraries
import board
import busio
# Create bus object using the board's I2C port
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
joystick = QwiicJoystick(i2c) # default address is 0x20# use QwiicJoystick(i2c, address) for a different address# joystick = QwiicJoystick(i2c, 0x21)"""
The Adafruit Blinka software provides CircuitPython the ability to use a Raspberry Pi (or other select Single Board Computers (SBC)) to run Python 3 and access CircuitPython capabilities.
