I2CDriver is a tool for controlling any I2C device from your PC's USB port,
|
|
and can also monitor and capture I2C traffic.
|
|
It connects as a standard USB serial device, so there are no drivers to install.
|
|
On the main site
|
|
[i2cdriver.com](https://i2cdriver.com),
|
|
there are drivers for
|
|
|
|
* Windows/Mac/Linux GUI
|
|
* Windows/Mac/Linux command-line
|
|
* Python 2 and 3
|
|
* Windows/Mac/Linux C/C++
|
|

For developers: How to make a release
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To release Python:
|
|
|
|
rm -rf dist/*
|
|
python setup.py sdist
|
|
twine upload dist/*
|
|
|
|
To build the Windows installer, you first need to build the two executables
|
|
``i2ccl.exe`` and ``i2cgui.exe`` then use an NSIS script to create the installer.
|
|
|
|
On Linux cross-compile ``i2ccl``:
|
|
|
|
cd c
|
|
make -f win32/Makefile
|
|
|
|
On Windows first make sure that you can run the GUI on the command-line, e.g.
|
|
|
|
python python\samples\i2cgui.py
|
|
|
|
(You may need to install i2cdriver, wxPython and pySerial).
|
|
|
|
Then build the GUI executable using ``pyinstaller``:
|
|
|
|
cd python\samples
|
|
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=../../images/i2cdriver.ico i2cgui.py
|
|
|
|
This builds the executable in ``python\samples\dist\i2cgui.exe``.
|
|
|
|
The Windows installer is built with NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System). Download and install it.
|
|
|
|
Copy the two executables ``i2ccl.exe`` and ``i2cgui.exe`` into ``nsis/``.
|
|
|
|
Then build the installer with NSIS:
|
|
|
|
cd nsis
|
|
"C:\Program Files\NSIS\makensis.exe" i2cdriver.nsi
|
|
|
|
The script ``go.bat`` in ``nsis`` has an example complete flow.
