UART Bridge with I2C

We highly encourage everyone to use our new Python package which is packed with features. This library is still supported, but is not recommended for new design.

The example below provides a basic demonstration of how to use the Binho Nova Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter as both a UART bridge and an I2C controller to interact with the same DUT with both protocols.

from binhoHostAdapter import binhoHostAdapter
from binhoHostAdapter import binhoUtilities

binhoTesterCommPort = 'COM22'

# create the binhoHostAdapter object
binhoTester = binhoHostAdapter.binhoHostAdapter(binhoTesterCommPort)

print("Connecting to binho host adapter tester...")
print

print(binhoTester.setLEDColor('YELLOW'))

print(binhoTester.setOperationMode(0, 'UART'))

print(binhoTester.setBaudRateUART(0, 115200))
print(binhoTester.setDataBitsUART(0, 8))
print(binhoTester.setParityUART(0, 'NONE'))
print(binhoTester.setStopBitsUART(0, 1))

print(binhoTester.beginBridgeUART(0))

binhoTester.writeBridgeUART("Testing...")
binhoTester.writeBridgeUART("more more")

print(binhoTester.stopBridgeUART("+++UART0"))
print(binhoTester.ping())

binhoTester.setOperationMode(0, 'I2C')
binhoTester.setPullUpStateI2C(0, "EN")
binhoTester.setClockI2C(0, 400000)

print(binhoTester.startI2C(0, 100))
print(binhoTester.writeByteI2C(0, 15))
print(binhoTester.writeByteI2C(0, 25))
print(binhoTester.endI2C(0))

binhoTester.setOperationMode(0, 'UART')
print(binhoTester.beginBridgeUART(0))

binhoTester.writeBridgeUART("Second Burst")
binhoTester.writeBridgeUART("Same as the first")
binhoTester.writeBridgeUART("A whole lot louder")
binhoTester.writeBridgeUART("And a whole lot wurst")

print(binhoTester.stopBridgeUART("+++UART0"))
print(binhoTester.ping())
