NAME
Device::SMBus - Perl interface for smbus using libi2c-dev library.
VERSION
version 1.03
SYNOPSIS
use Device::SMBus;
$dev = Device::SMBus->new(
I2CBusDevicePath => '/dev/i2c-1',
I2CDeviceAddress => 0x1e,
);
print $dev->readByteData(0x20);
DESCRIPTION
This is a perl interface to smbus interface using libi2c-dev library.
Prerequisites:
* sudo apt-get install libi2c-dev i2c-tools
Enabling the I2C on a Raspberry Pi:
You will need to comment out the driver from the blacklist. currently
the I2C driver isn't being loaded.
sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf
Replace this line
blacklist i2c-bcm2708
with this
#blacklist i2c-bcm2708
You now need to edit the modules conf file.
sudo vim /etc/modules
Add these two lines;
i2c-dev
i2c-bcm2708
Now run this command(replace 1 with 0 for older model Pi)
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
you should now see the addresses of the i2c devices connected to your
i2c bus
ATTRIBUTES
I2CBusDevicePath
Device path of the I2C Device.
* On Raspberry Pi Model A this would usually be /dev/i2c-0 if you are using the default pins.
* On Raspberry Pi Model B this would usually be /dev/i2c-1 if you are using the default pins.
I2CDeviceAddress
This is the Address of the device on the I2C bus, this is usually
available in the device Datasheet.
* for /dev/i2c-0 look at output of `sudo i2cdetect -y 0'
* for /dev/i2c-1 look at output of `sudo i2cdetect -y 1'
METHODS
fileError
returns IO::Handle->error() for the device handle since the last
clearerr
writeQuick
$self->writeQuick($value)
readByte
$self->readByte()
writeByte
$self->writeByte()
readByteData
$self->readByteData($register_address)
writeByteData
$self->writeByteData($register_address,$value)
readNBytes
$self->readNBytes($lowest_byte_address, $number_of_bytes);
Read together N bytes of Data in linear register order. i.e. to read
from 0x28,0x29,0x2a
$self->readNBytes(0x28,3);
readWordData
$self->readWordData($register_address)
writeWordData
$self->writeWordData($register_address,$value)
processCall
$self->processCall($register_address,$value)
DEMOLISH
Destructor
CONSTANTS
I2C_SLAVE
USAGE
* This module provides a simplified object oriented interface to the
libi2c-dev library for accessing electronic peripherals connected on
the I2C bus. It uses Moose.
see ALSO
* Moose
* IO::File
* Fcntl
