:alt: Build Status
CircuitPython module for the MAX31865 thermocouple amplifier.
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://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.
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-max31865/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31865
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max31865
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-max31865
Usage Example
=============
See examples/max31865_simpletest.py for a demo of the usage.
Contributing
============
Contributions are welcome! Please read our `Code of Conduct
<https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_max31865/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md>`_
before contributing to help this project stay welcoming.
Building locally
================
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-max31865 --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.
