SWI with Atmel Crypto ICs

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 following python script demonstrates how to use the SWI host Nova functionality of the Binho Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter with the Atmel (now Microchip) ATSHA204A CryptoAuthentication IC. Communication with other devices from this family will be strikingly similar.

from binhoHostAdapter import binhoHostAdapter
from binhoHostAdapter import binhoUtilities

# change this to your COM port
binhoTesterCommPort = 'COM22'

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

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

A special shout out to our friends at Sparkfun who produced a similar example above for their ATSHA204 Arduino Library many, many moons ago. This demo is built to match their example.
