Control the green and blue LED on the Cubieboard with python. Tested with python 2.7+ and 3+
In order to use this module you need a Cubieboard (obviously), running some sort of linux. I have tested on Archlinux arm, but anything that run on the Cubieboard should work.
Then you need to activate the LEDs as described here. I also had to load the module:
leds_sunxi
You can install using pip
$ pip install cubieleds
If you are running Archlinux, PKGBUILDs for python2 and 3 are available here.
The module is pretty simpel. This is how it works:
>>> import cubie.leds
# turn on the blue LED
>>> cubie.leds.on("blue")
True
# check status of blue LED
>>> cubie.leds.status("blue")
1
# Turn off blue LED
>>> cubie.leds.off("blue")
True
# check status again
>>> cubie.leds.status("blue")
0
# It is also possible to add a trigger, eg. the mmc0 trigger which will make
# the LED blink on SD card activity
>>> cubie.leds.trigger("green", "mmc0")
True
>>> cubie.leds.trigger_status("green")
'mmc0'
