CircuitPython driver library for using ESP32 as WiFi co-processor using SPI. The companion firmware is available on GitHub <https://github.com/adafruit/nina-fw>_. Please be sure to check the example code for any specific firmware version dependencies that may exist.

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://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>_.

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-esp32spi/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-esp32spi

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-esp32spi

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-esp32spi

Usage Example

Check the examples folder for various demos for connecting and fetching data!

Building locally

Zip release files

To build this library locally you'll need to install the circuitpython-build-tools <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython-build-tools>_ package.

.. code-block:: shell

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install circuitpython-build-tools

Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:

.. code-block:: shell

source .env/bin/activate

Then run the build:

.. code-block:: shell

circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-esp32spi --library_location .

Sphinx documentation

Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First, install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):

.. code-block:: shell

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:

.. code-block:: shell

cd docs
sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

This will output the documentation to docs/_build/html. Open the index.html in your browser to view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to locally verify it will pass.
