pd-buddy-python

Python library for working with the PD Buddy Sink Serial Console Configuration Interface

Features

• Provides a Pythonic interface to the PD Buddy Sink shell commands
• Configuration is represented as a SinkConfig object
• SinkConfig objects can be manipulated locally and written to the device with one method call

Examples

Open the first PD Buddy Sink device and read its configuration

>>> import pdbuddy
>>> pdbs = pdbuddy.Sink(list(pdbuddy.Sink.get_devices())[0])
>>> pdbs.get_cfg()
SinkConfig(status=SinkStatus.VALID, flags=SinkFlags.NONE, v=5000, i=3000)

Locally manipulate a SinkConfig object

>>> cfg = pdbs.get_cfg()
>>> cfg.v = 20000
>>> cfg.i = 2250
>>> cfg.flags |= pdbuddy.SinkFlags.GIVEBACK
>>> cfg
SinkConfig(status=SinkStatus.VALID, flags=SinkFlags.GIVEBACK, v=20000, i=2250)

Write the SinkConfig object to flash

>>> pdbs.set_tmpcfg(cfg)
>>> pdbs.write()
>>> pdbs.get_cfg()
SinkConfig(status=SinkStatus.VALID, flags=SinkFlags.GIVEBACK, v=20000, i=2250)

Requirements

• Python >= 3.4 should work (tested with 3.6)
• pySerial (tested with 3.3)
