.begin(chip = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Begin an SPI block. All SPI communications should be wrapped in a block.

# File 'lib/pi_piper/spi.rb', line 34

def self.begin(chip=nil, &block)
  PiPiper.driver.spi_begin
  chip = CHIP_SELECT_0 if !chip && block_given?
  spi = new(chip)

  if block.arity > 0
    block.call spi
  else  
    spi.instance_exec &block
  end
end

.end ⇒ Object

Not needed when #begin is called with a block

def self.end
  PiPiper.driver.spi_end
end

.set_mode(cpol, cpha) ⇒ Object

Sets the SPI mode. Defaults to mode (0,0).

  mode = SPI_MODE1 if cpol == 0 and cpha == 1
  mode = SPI_MODE2 if cpol == 1 and cpha == 0
  mode = SPI_MODE3 if cpol == 1 and cpha == 1
  PiPiper.driver.spi_set_data_mode mode
end

.spidev_out(array) ⇒ Object

Uses /dev/spidev0.0 to write to the SPI NOTE: Requires that you have /dev/spidev0.0

see: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-raspberry-pi-educational-linux-distro/overview
most likely requires `chmod 666 /dev/spidev0.0`

Examples:

Writing red, green, blue to a string of WS2801 pixels

PiPiper::Spi.spidev_out([255,0,0,0,255,0,0,0,255])

      order = LSBFIRST
    else
      order = MSBFIRST
    end
  end

  PiPiper.driver.spi_bit_order(order)
end

#chip_select(chip = CHIP_SELECT_0) { ... } ⇒ Object

Activate a specific chip so that communication can begin

When a block is provided, the chip is automatically deactivated after the block completes. When a block is not provided, the user is responsible for calling chip_select(CHIP_SELECT_NONE)

Examples:

With block (preferred)

spi.chip_select do
  spi.write(0xFF)
end

Without block

spi.chip_select(CHIP_SELECT_0)
spi.write(0xFF)
spi.write(0x22)
spi.chip_select(CHIP_SELECT_NONE)

Parameters:

  • chip (optional, CHIP_SELECT_*) (defaults to: CHIP_SELECT_0) —

    the chip select line options

Yields:

  PiPiper.driver.spi_chip_select(chip) 
  if block_given?
    begin
      yield
    ensure
      PiPiper.driver.spi_chip_select(CHIP_SELECT_NONE)
    end
  end
end

#chip_select_active_low(active_low, chip = nil) ⇒ Object

Configure the active state of the chip select line

The default state for most chips is active low.

“active low” means the clock line is kept high during idle, and goes low when communicating.

“active high” means the clock line is kept low during idle, and goes high when communicating.

Parameters:

  • active_low (Boolean) —

    true for active low, false for active high

  • chip (optional, CHIP_SELECT_*) (defaults to: nil) —

    one of CHIP_SELECT_*

#read(count = nil) ⇒ Number|Array

Read from the bus

Examples:

Read a single byte

byte = spi.read

Read array of bytes

array = spi.read(3)

Parameters:

  • count (optional, Number) (defaults to: nil) —

    the number of bytes to read. When count is provided, an array is returned. When count is nil, a single byte is returned.

Returns:

  • (Number|Array) —

    data that was read from the bus

    write([0xFF] * count)
  else
    enable { PiPiper.driver.spi_transfer(0) }
  end
end

#write(*args) ⇒ Number|Array

Write to the bus

Examples:

Write a single byte

spi.write(0x22)

Write multiple bytes

spi.write(0x22, 0x33, 0x44)

Returns:

  • (Number|Array) —

    data that came out of MISO during write
