Overview

python_bit_handler is a small module that can be added to any driver that is written for sensors/effectors that require handling of specific bits/bytes of registers through a hardware interface like spi or i2c.

Features

• Initialization of handler.

  handler = BitHandler(resolution=8)

• Set any bits to any variable

  number = 0b10101100
  number = handler.set_bits(number, 0b111, bits=3, shift=1)

• Get any bits from a variable.

  number = 0b10101100
  bits = handler.get_bits(number, bits=3, shift=1)

• Make a number from two or more registers

  data = [0b10010101, 0b00100111, 0b11010000]
  number = handler.get_number(data, res=20, signed=True, rev=True)
