General board control
---------------------

See :mod:`pyb`. ::

    import pyb

    pyb.repl_uart(pyb.UART(1, 9600)) # duplicate REPL on UART(1)
    pyb.wfi() # pause CPU, waiting for interrupt
    pyb.freq() # get CPU and bus frequencies
    pyb.freq(60000000) # set CPU freq to 60MHz
    pyb.stop() # stop CPU, waiting for external interrupt

Delay and timing
----------------

Use the :mod:`time <time>` module::

    import time

    time.sleep(1)           # sleep for 1 second
    time.sleep_ms(500)      # sleep for 500 milliseconds
    time.sleep_us(10)       # sleep for 10 microseconds
    start = time.ticks_ms() # get value of millisecond counter
    delta = time.ticks_diff(time.ticks_ms(), start) # compute time difference

Internal LEDs
-------------

See :ref:`pyb.LED <pyb.LED>`. ::

    from pyb import LED

    led = LED(1) # 1=red, 2=green, 3=yellow, 4=blue
    led.toggle()
    led.on()
    led.off()

    # LEDs 3 and 4 support PWM intensity (0-255)
    LED(4).intensity()    # get intensity
    LED(4).intensity(128) # set intensity to half

Internal switch
---------------

See :ref:`pyb.Switch <pyb.Switch>`. ::

    from pyb import Switch

    sw = Switch()
    sw.value() # returns True or False
    sw.callback(lambda: pyb.LED(1).toggle())

Pins and GPIO
-------------

See :ref:`pyb.Pin <pyb.Pin>`. ::

    from pyb import Pin

    p_out = Pin('X1', Pin.OUT_PP)
    p_out.high()
    p_out.low()

    p_in = Pin('X2', Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP)
    p_in.value() # get value, 0 or 1

Servo control
-------------

See :ref:`pyb.Servo <pyb.Servo>`. ::

    from pyb import Servo

    s1 = Servo(1) # servo on position 1 (X1, VIN, GND)
    s1.angle(45) # move to 45 degrees
    s1.angle(-60, 1500) # move to -60 degrees in 1500ms
    s1.speed(50) # for continuous rotation servos

External interrupts
-------------------

See :ref:`pyb.ExtInt <pyb.ExtInt>`. ::

    from pyb import Pin, ExtInt

    callback = lambda e: print("intr")
    ext = ExtInt(Pin('Y1'), ExtInt.IRQ_RISING, Pin.PULL_NONE, callback)

Timers
------

See :ref:`pyb.Timer <pyb.Timer>`. ::

    from pyb import Timer

    tim = Timer(1, freq=1000)
    tim.counter() # get counter value
    tim.freq(0.5) # 0.5 Hz
    tim.callback(lambda t: pyb.LED(1).toggle())

RTC (real time clock)
---------------------

See :ref:`pyb.RTC <pyb.RTC>` ::

    from pyb import RTC

    rtc = RTC()
    rtc.datetime((2017, 8, 23, 1, 12, 48, 0, 0)) # set a specific date and time
    rtc.datetime() # get date and time

PWM (pulse width modulation)
----------------------------

See :ref:`pyb.Pin <pyb.Pin>` and :ref:`pyb.Timer <pyb.Timer>`. ::

    from pyb import Pin, Timer

    p = Pin('X1') # X1 has TIM2, CH1
    tim = Timer(2, freq=1000)
    ch = tim.channel(1, Timer.PWM, pin=p)
    ch.pulse_width_percent(50)

ADC (analog to digital conversion)
----------------------------------

See :ref:`pyb.Pin <pyb.Pin>` and :ref:`pyb.ADC <pyb.ADC>`. ::

    from pyb import Pin, ADC

    adc = ADC(Pin('X19'))
    adc.read() # read value, 0-4095

DAC (digital to analog conversion)
----------------------------------

See :ref:`pyb.Pin <pyb.Pin>` and :ref:`pyb.DAC <pyb.DAC>`. ::

    from pyb import Pin, DAC

    dac = DAC(Pin('X5'))
    dac.write(120) # output between 0 and 255

UART (serial bus)
-----------------

See :ref:`pyb.UART <pyb.UART>`. ::

    from pyb import UART

    uart = UART(1, 9600)
    uart.write('hello')
    uart.read(5) # read up to 5 bytes

SPI bus
-------

See :ref:`pyb.SPI <pyb.SPI>`. ::

    from pyb import SPI

    spi = SPI(1, SPI.CONTROLLER, baudrate=200000, polarity=1, phase=0)
    spi.send('hello')
    spi.recv(5) # receive 5 bytes on the bus
    spi.send_recv('hello') # send and receive 5 bytes

I2C bus
-------

Hardware I2C is available on the X and Y halves of the pyboard via ``I2C('X')``
and ``I2C('Y')``.  Alternatively pass in the integer identifier of the peripheral,
eg ``I2C(1)``.  Software I2C is also available by explicitly specifying the
``scl`` and ``sda`` pins instead of the bus name.  For more details see
:ref:`machine.I2C <machine.I2C>`. ::

    from machine import I2C

    i2c = I2C('X', freq=400000)                 # create hardware I2c object
    i2c = I2C(scl='X1', sda='X2', freq=100000)  # create software I2C object

    i2c.scan()                          # returns list of peripheral addresses
    i2c.writeto(0x42, 'hello')          # write 5 bytes to peripheral with address 0x42
    i2c.readfrom(0x42, 5)               # read 5 bytes from peripheral

    i2c.readfrom_mem(0x42, 0x10, 2)     # read 2 bytes from peripheral 0x42, peripheral memory 0x10
    i2c.writeto_mem(0x42, 0x10, 'xy')   # write 2 bytes to peripheral 0x42, peripheral memory 0x10

Note: for legacy I2C support see :ref:`pyb.I2C <pyb.I2C>`.

I2S bus
-------

See :ref:`machine.I2S <machine.I2S>`. ::

    from machine import I2S, Pin

    i2s = I2S(2, sck=Pin('Y6'), ws=Pin('Y5'), sd=Pin('Y8'), mode=I2S.TX, bits=16, format=I2S.STEREO, rate=44100, ibuf=40000) # create I2S object
    i2s.write(buf)             # write buffer of audio samples to I2S device

    i2s = I2S(1, sck=Pin('X5'), ws=Pin('X6'), sd=Pin('Y4'), mode=I2S.RX, bits=16, format=I2S.MONO, rate=22050, ibuf=40000) # create I2S object
    i2s.readinto(buf)          # fill buffer with audio samples from I2S device

The I2S class is currently available as a Technical Preview.  During the preview period, feedback from
users is encouraged.  Based on this feedback, the I2S class API and implementation may be changed.

PYBv1.0/v1.1 has one I2S bus with id=2.
PYBD-SFxW has two I2S buses with id=1 and id=2.
I2S is shared with SPI.

CAN bus (controller area network)
---------------------------------

See :ref:`pyb.CAN <pyb.CAN>`. ::

    from pyb import CAN

    can = CAN(1, CAN.LOOPBACK)
    can.setfilter(0, CAN.LIST16, 0, (123, 124, 125, 126))
    can.send('message!', 123)   # send a message with id 123
    can.recv(0)                 # receive message on FIFO 0

Internal accelerometer
----------------------

See :ref:`pyb.Accel <pyb.Accel>`. ::

    from pyb import Accel

    accel = Accel()
    print(accel.x(), accel.y(), accel.z(), accel.tilt())
