Rust driver for Rainbox HAT

This repository contains an unofficial Rust driver library for Rainbow HAT, for use with Raspberry Pi OS on your Raspberry Pi.
For the official Python driver see: https://github.com/pimoroni/rainbow-hat.
For the official AndroidThings driver see: https://github.com/androidthings/contrib-drivers/tree/master/rainbowhat.

This library depends on https://github.com/golemparts/rppal for access to the Raspberry Pi peripherals.

Current periferials supported:

Periferial	Supported	Structs
Multicolour LEDs
Four 14-segment alphanumeric displays	X	rainbow_hat_rs::alphanum4::Alphanum4
Three capacitive touch buttons	X	rainbow_hat_rs::touch::Buttons
Temperature and pressure sensor
Blue, green and red LEDs	X	rainbow_hat_rs::lights::Lights
Piezo buzzer

Usage

Add a dependency for rainbow-hat-rs to your Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
rainbow-hat-rs = "0.1.0"

Call new() on any of the peripherals to construct a new instance.

use rainbow_hat_rs::lights::Lights;
use rainbow_hat_rs::alphanum4::Alphanum4;
use rainbow_hat_rs::touch::Buttons;


let lights = Lights::new()?;
let buttons = Buttons::new()?;
let alphanum = Alphanum4::new()?;

Examples

See folder examples.

Lights

let lights = Lights::new()?;

// Turn on red and green lights
lights.rgb(true, true, false);

// Turn off red light
lights.red.off()

// Turn on blue light
lights.blue.on()

// Toggle green light
lights.green.toggle()

Buttons

let buttons = Buttons::new()?;

// Identify if button A is pressed
if buttons.a.is_pressed() {
    println!("Button A touched!");
}

Display

let mut alphanum = Alphanum4::new()?;

// Print a message on the display
alphanum.print_str("1234", false);
alphanum.show()?;

Caution

Always be careful when working with the Raspberry Pi's peripherals, especially if you attach any external components to the GPIO pins. Improper use can lead to permanent damage.
