Python bindings for Linux SPI access through spidev
This project contains a python module for interfacing with SPI devices from user space via the spidev linux kernel driver.
This is a modified version of the code originally found here

import spidev
spi = spidev.SpiDev()
spi.open(bus, device)
to_send = [0x01, 0x02, 0x03]
spi.xfer(to_send)
import spidev
spi = spidev.SpiDev()
spi.open(bus, device)
# Settings (for example)
spi.max_speed_hz = 5000
spi.mode = 0b01
...
bits_per_word
cshigh
loop
lsbfirst
max_speed_hz
mode
- SPI mode as two bit pattern of clock polarity and phase [CPOL|CPHA], min: 0b00 = 0, max: 0b11 = 3threewire
- SI/SO signals sharedopen(bus, device)
Connects to the specified SPI device, opening /dev/spidev-bus.device
readbytes(n)
Read n bytes from SPI device.
writebytes(list of values)
Writes a list of values to SPI device.
xfer(list of values[, speed_hz, delay_usec, bits_per_word])
Performs an SPI transaction. Chip-select should be released and reactivated between blocks. Delay specifies the delay in usec between blocks.
xfer2(list of values[, speed_hz, delay_usec, bits_per_word])
Performs an SPI transaction. Chip-select should be held active between blocks.
close()
Disconnects from the SPI device.
