Easy interface to store and retrieve objects persisted via NVM

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

  • Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_

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>_ or individual libraries can be installed using circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>_.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/foamyguy-circuitpython-nvm-helper/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install foamyguy-circuitpython-nvm-helper

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install foamyguy-circuitpython-nvm-helper

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 foamyguy-circuitpython-nvm-helper

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

circup install nvm_helper

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

circup update

Usage Example

.. code:: python

import foamyguy_nvm_helper as nvm_helper

nvm_helper.save_data(
    {"name": "nvm_helper", "num": 92, "float": 3.14}, test_run=False, verbose=True
)
read_data = nvm_helper.read_data()
print("read data is:")
print(read_data)
