A CircuitPython library for working with the MCP2515 CAN bus controller
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>_.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-mcp2515/>_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mcp2515
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mcp2515
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-mcp2515
Usage Example
.. code-block:: python3
import board
import busio
import digitalio
import adafruit_mcp2515
CS_PIN = 5
cs = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D5)
cs.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT
spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, board.MOSI, board.MISO)
mcp = adafruit_mcp2515.MCP2515(spi, cs)
