Having problems with Library files

Post by RickyRivits »

I am working inside Python programming DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing
So when I choose the link found in the documents, I can manually install libraries but
adafruit_pca9685 ( Can't find this one in the download )
adafruit_bus_device ( found this one aok )
adafruit_register ( Found this one too )
adafruit_motor ( found this one )
adafruit_motorkit ( Can't find this one too ) and without it my code can't run.

This is what I used to download librarys

Next you'll need to install the necessary libraries to use the hardware--carefully follow the steps to find and install these libraries from Adafruit's CircuitPython library bundle. Our CircuitPython starter guide has a great page on how to install the library bundle.

Looks like the Adafruit Stepper + DC Motor FeatherWing guide was linking to Github releases instead of the newer location on the CircuitPython webpage:

https://circuitpython.org/libraries

Try downloading the bundle zip from there instead. Everything should be in there.

First of all I am a newbee so I don't yet understand the Python programming process for Python. Seems like "C" with somekind of call functions.

I did noticed most library code has a structure that includes a directory; Then inside the directory you find files. From what I understand you paste the directory Library into the CIRCUITPY.

In this case inside the new download you sent me, I didn't find the aforementioned structure. I did see a files adafruit_pca9685.mpy & adafruit_motorkit.mpy are these the library for Motorkit and PCA9685 ? If so should I build a new directory inside CIRCUITPY and add the files to them ?

Thanks for helping me
