Migration to Pi 5 / Bookworm Progress

[Gadgetoid]

Library Repackaging Progress

This is an overview of our Python going concerns. Not all of these may need repackaging or be possible to repackage, and some of them might work with Pi 5 / Bookworm already, or with minor tweaks.

• The 🛍️ icons both denote a product which is live on our shop, and link to it
• The ❓ icons denote a product that may need special consideration, may simple be obsolete, need archiving or justification
• The ⚠️ icons denote a product which has significant challenges for migration

Repackaged libraries should:

1. Be synced with the latest boilerplate from Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm + Pep 668 #13
2. Have any QA issues addressed, tests updated etc
3. Have any dependencies on RPi.GPIO removed in favour of gpiodevice and gpiod
4. Switch from smbus to smbus2
5. Be tentatively linted with black for better code consistency
6. Where possible be updated to use f"{var}" instead of "{var}".format()
7. Don't forget to fix the README badges!
8. Raise as a PR with testing instructions and allow to mellow
9. Tested, merged and "master" branch renamed to "main"
10. Released with a major version bump

[Gadgetoid]

Progress has been slowed somewhat by working some improvements (and bugfixes) back into the upstream boilerplate and rolling those out to all previously updated libraries-

• Sync with boilerplate. pms5003-python#25
• Bookworm/Pi5 Compatibility: Upgrade to latest boilerplate bme280-python#32
• Sync with boilerplate. grow-python#42
• Sync with boilerplate. ltr559-python#19
• Bookworm/Pi5 Compatibility: Upgrade to latest boilerplate bh1745-python#9
• Bookworm/Pi5 Compatibility: Upgrade to latest boilerplate ioe-python#26

Bugs / Improvements 😭

• 🟢 The installer shows Running setup commands... and Running: "" even if there are no setup commands
• 🟢 There's no hint how the HTML docs generated by 'pdoc' should be viewed- eg: cd ~/Pimoroni/drv8830/docs; python3 -m http.server

It would be awesome, if phatbeat could see a last update to bookworm. I understand that the hardware is not really sold anymore, but the hardware out there is still working.

A plain library port wouldn't be too hard- it's just a bunch of buttons and the LEDs are SPI/APA102 (for which there's a separate library that will definitely see a Bookworm/Pi 5 port. But the plain library is a bit meh with pHAT BEAT- the biggest challenge is getting VU information out of whatever now passes for an audio stack. I started trying to get things working with Pulse Audio in https://github.com/pimoroni/pivumeter-pulseaudio but I think the Pi uses PipeWire now so it'll have to start again since from my brief brushes with PipeWire it makes this kinda stuff ... maybe... easier.

[bjoernbusch]

So getting the pulseaudio to work is not just a little bit of configuration when I understand you correctly? (pimoroni/phat-beat#43) just the audio output
