AIN read performance issue about pybbio HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks, that's good info. Both PyBBIO and Adafruit_BBIO are using the sysfs drivers. The difference is that Adafruit is using a C extension to do the file I/O, where as PyBBIO is currently doing file I/O straight from Python. I did it that way because it was the quickest way to get the ADC working, but I am planning on moving more of the IO to C extensions as I find the time.

I suppose it would still be possible to directly control the ADC the way I was on earlier kernels, but the problem is it then wouldn't be compatible with any overlays that use the ADC, because the iio driver would just reconfigure it. One of my goals is to make PyBBIO as cape compatible as possible, so it has to be able to work along side the iio driver. I'm still looking into how best to do this.

In new kernels there is now a fix for AM335x_ADC_Driver that provides continuous sampling support

Would be awesome to have same functionality in python. May be worth to consider?

Thanks for pointing that out. It would definitely be cool to support continuous mode in PyBBIO to get some faster sampling, perhaps even combined with epoll to fire a callback after every sample. I definitely want to get the normal ADC reads faster first though.

I'm closing this issue as I'm not planning on changing the way analogRead() works any time soon.

Where can i find 'adafruit_bbio.adc'; i was interested to know the definitions of 'adc.read', 'adc.read_raw'

This is the wrong repository.
You are looking for adafruit.bbio and not PyBBIO

Ok.. Problem was solved.. Thanks
