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)
>>> print(pdbs.get_cfg())
status: valid
flags: (none)
v: 5.00 V
i: 3.00 A

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 2.7, 3.6
- pySerial >= 3.0
- aenum >= 2.0 (if using Python < 3.6)
