binhopulsar

Caution

Legacy: this documents the binhopulsar Python package, being phased out in favor of CosmicSDK and the new Python SDK. It remains supported during the transition. New projects on Supernova or Pulsar should start with CosmicSDK.

binhopulsar is described on PyPI as the “Basic SDK for Binho Pulsar”: the Python package for interacting with the Pulsar USB host adapter, supporting I2C, SPI, UART, and GPIO.

It is the direct Pulsar equivalent of binhosupernova. Per the package’s own documentation, “The Pulsar host adapter shares its API with the Binho Supernova adapter,” so the commands and interfaces carry over and moving between the two is straightforward.

Note

This is a legacy package. For Supernova and Pulsar, new development is going into CosmicSDK and the Python SDK. binhopulsar remains available and supported in the meantime.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher
• A Binho Pulsar host adapter

Installation

pip install binhopulsar

The latest release is 1.2.0 (11 June 2025), which added persistent voltage configuration across power cycles for I2C, SPI, UART, and GPIO, and unified I2C pull-up resistor values between the Pulsar and Supernova platforms.

Danger

Package version must match the Pulsar’s firmware generation: firmware v4.x requires binhopulsar 1.2.0 (from binhopulsar.pulsar import Pulsar), firmware v3.x requires 0.3.0 (from BinhoPulsar.Pulsar import Pulsar). Never flash Supernova firmware to a Pulsar or vice versa: see Updating Firmware.
