Hello,
I have been trying to make things and put items of interest together. With some help from #beagle at Freenode and with the book "BeagleBone by Example (Prabakar 2016)," I have come to a conclusion.
...
The conclusion I have come to helps the older Cape from Seeed-Studio, i.e. The Motor Bridge Cape. I first got ideas to work with this Cape many years ago.
Last but not least:
- Get the source for the Motor Bridge Cape
- Put the changes in the source by first
- pip3 install smbus2
- Then, by following this how-to guide on the info. needing to be changed
- On line 302 in the /smbus2.py file, changes will need to be made to support your i2c requirements if necessary
- Then change the MotorBridge.py file in your cloned directory and files from git on github.
- This will help to suit your needs on the i2c communication from smbus2 to the BBBW
I think that should do it.
