Using the Adafruit_BBIO LibraryCreated by Justin Cooper
Using the Adafruit_BBIO Library - Created by Justin Cooper
http://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-io-python-library-on-beaglebone-black/using-the-bbio-library
This library has quite a few changes being made to it. Please read the CHANGELOG anytime you update the library to ensure it doesn't break your programs.
Using the Adafruit_BBIO library with the BeagleBone Black (BBB) is fairly simple, especially if you're familiar with the RPi.GPIO library for the Raspberry Pi.
To start, you'll want to import the libary. There are two different options at this time to import. The first one is for GPIO:
Copy Code
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
If you'd like to use PWM, then import as follows:
Copy Code
import Adafruit_BBIO.PWM as PWM
You can access the channels by either referencing the pin "key" or the name. If you look at your BeagleBone Black, you can see that each set of pin headers has a name, either P8 or P9. Then, you can see that there are pin numbers that start from 1, and go to 46.
When you count the pins, you don't go length-wise, but start at 1, then across to 2, and then back up to the next pin 3, and so on. The following image illustrates this a bit better:
BBB_pin_example.jpeg
So, to access the first pin on P9, you'd use "P9_1". You can also use the name of the pin to access it, which would be . You wouldn't want to do this though, as P9_1 is actually gnd! You'll want to view the last page of this guide to see which pins are available to use.
Not all pins are necessarily available. HDMI, and the eMMC flash module take up quite a few of them by default.
I2C is only compatible with Python2 due to the python-smbus dependency.

Installing Adafruit-BeagleBone-IO-Python on Ubuntu - Created by Justin Cooper
Installation of Adafruit-BeagleBone-IO-Python on Ubuntu - Created by Justin Cooper
http://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-io-python-library-on-beaglebone-black/installation-on-ubuntu
The majority of this library will need to be run as sudo in Ubuntu.
Installing the Adafruit-BeagleBone-IO-Python (phew!) library is fairly simple. Let's make sure we have a good foundation setup first.
The most important part here is that you are using a Linux distribution with the 3.8 kernel. This kernel version made some fairly significant changes with how GPIO, PWM and ADC are accessed.
Connecting to your BeagleBone Black (SSH)
Let's ssh into the system so we can execute commands. Open your favorite terminal, and SSH into your BeagleBone Black (BBB). Note, Ubuntu does not come with Avahi-Daemon pre-installed. This means you need to use the IP address to connect and not the hostname.
Copy Code
ssh ubuntu@your.bbb.ip.address
Enter the the password (default is 'temppwd' most likely). You should now have a prompt available to enter commands.
Commands to setup and install BBIO
Now that you're connected to the BBB, you'll want to start with setting the date and time so that it's accurate. Copy and paste the following into your terminal (you may want to make it execute this on startup in the future):
Copy Code
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
Next install the dependencies:
Copy Code
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-setuptools python-pip python-smbus -y
Now, execute the command to install BBIO:
Copy Code
sudo pip install Adafruit_BBIO
Test your Installation (optional)
You can optionally test if your installation was successful by simply trying to load one of the modules. Execute the following command from the console (not from within the python interpretor), it shouldn't throw any errors, but return one line:
Copy Code
sudo python -c "import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO; print GPIO"
#you should see this or similar:
<module 'Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Adafruit_BBIO/GPIO.so'>
You can also validate by executing the 'python' command to enable the interpreter, and run the following code (you can tell you're in the right place when you see the ">>>" in your terminal):
Copy Code
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO; print GPIO
#you should see this or similar:
<module 'Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Adafruit_BBIO/GPIO.so'>
Manual Installation (optional)
You can also install BBIO by cloning the git repository. The following commands should get it installed as well:
Copy Code
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip python-smbus -y
git clone git://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python.git

Adafruit-BeagleBone-IO-Python installation - written by Justin Cooper
Installation on Angstrom - Created by Justin Cooper
http://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-io-python-library-on-beaglebone-black/installation
Installing the Adafruit-BeagleBone-IO-Python (phew!) library is fairly simple. Let's make sure we have a good foundation setup first.
The most important part here is that you are using a Linux distribution with the 3.8 kernel. This kernel version made some fairly significant changes with how GPIO and PWM is accessed. The good news is that your BeagleBone Black came pre-installed with the proper kernel. It just may not be the latest and greatest. If you have some extra time, it may not be a bad idea to follow our installation guide for Angstrom, and flash your BeagleBone Black with the latest version.
Connecting to your BeagleBone Black (SSH)
Once you have the latest version of Angstrom on your BBB, let's ssh into the system so we can execute commands. The easiest way to gain access to the system is by using GateOne SSH. You can easily access GateOne by typing in the following into your browser window:
Copy Code
http://beaglebone.local
Once the page loads successully (you should see a green box that says "Your board is connected!"), you can click on the "GateOne SSH link to the upper left, in the sidebar. Then, click the "GateOne SSH client" link to get started. Some browsers may complain about invalid certificates, but you can proceed anyways.
GateOne.jpeg
To sign into the beaglebone, type the following at the prompts (assuming root user on a fresh Angstrom installation):
Copy Code
Host/IP or SSH URL [localhost]: beaglebone.local
Port [22]: (just hit enter)
User: root
Connecting to ssh://root@beaglebone.local:22
GateOneFilled.jpeg
Commands to setup and install Adafruit_BBIO
Now that you're connected to the BBB, you'll want to start with setting the date and time so that it's accurate. Copy and paste the following into your terminal (you may want to make it execute this on startup in the future):
Copy Code
/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org
These commands will require internet access. If you get errors, please view the FAQ page for resolutions.
Next, execute each of the following lines. Copy and paste the following one-by-one into the terminal, and hit enter:
Copy Code
opkg update && opkg install python-pip python-setuptools python-smbus
pip install Adafruit_BBIO

sudo rm -rf adafruit-beaglebone-io-python
**Usage**
Using the library is very similar to the excellent RPi.GPIO library used on the Raspberry Pi. Below are some examples.
**GPIO Setup**
Import the library, and setup as GPIO.OUT or GPIO.IN::
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.OUT)
You can also refer to the pin names::
GPIO.setup("GPIO0_26", GPIO.OUT)
**GPIO Output**
Setup the pin for output, and write GPIO.HIGH or GPIO.LOW. Or you can use 1 or 0.::
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output("P8_14", GPIO.HIGH)
**GPIO Input**
Inputs work similarly to outputs.::
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.IN)
Polling inputs::
if GPIO.input("P8_14"):
print("HIGH")
else:
print("LOW")
Waiting for an edge (GPIO.RISING, GPIO.FALLING, or GPIO.BOTH::
GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING)
Detecting events::
GPIO.add_event_detect("P9_12", GPIO.FALLING)
#your amazing code here
#detect wherever:
if GPIO.event_detected("P9_12"):
print "event detected!"
**PWM**::
import Adafruit_BBIO.PWM as PWM
#PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
PWM.start("P9_14", 50)
PWM.set_duty_cycle("P9_14", 25.5)
PWM.set_frequency("P9_14", 10)
PWM.stop("P9_14")
PWM.cleanup()
#set polarity to 1 on start:
PWM.start("P9_14", 50, 2000, 1)
**ADC**::
import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
ADC.setup()
#read returns values 0-1.0
value = ADC.read("P9_40")
#read_raw returns non-normalized value
value = ADC.read_raw("P9_40")
**Running tests**
Install py.test to run the tests. You'll also need the python compiler package for py.test.::
opkg update && opkg install python-compiler
#Either pip or easy_install
pip install -U pytest
easy_install -U pytest
Execute the following in the root of the project::
py.test

GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.IN)
Polling inputs::
if GPIO.input("P8_14"):
print("HIGH")
else:
print("LOW")
Waiting for an edge (GPIO.RISING, GPIO.FALLING, or GPIO.BOTH::
GPIO.wait_for_edge(channel, GPIO.RISING)
Detecting events::
GPIO.add_event_detect("P9_12", GPIO.FALLING)
#your amazing code here
#detect wherever:
if GPIO.event_detected("P9_12"):
print "event detected!"
**PWM**::
import Adafruit_BBIO.PWM as PWM
#PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0)
#duty values are valid 0 (off) to 100 (on)
PWM.start("P9_14", 50)
PWM.set_duty_cycle("P9_14", 25.5)
PWM.set_frequency("P9_14", 10)
PWM.stop("P9_14")
PWM.cleanup()
#set polarity to 1 on start:
PWM.start("P9_14", 50, 2000, 1)
**ADC**::
import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
ADC.setup()
#read returns values 0-1.0
value = ADC.read("P9_40")
#read_raw returns non-normalized value
value = ADC.read_raw("P9_40")
**Running tests**
Install py.test to run the tests. You'll also need the python compiler package for py.test.::
opkg update && opkg install python-compiler
#Either pip or easy_install
pip install -U pytest
easy_install -U pytest
Execute the following in the root of the project::
py.test
