PCA9685 support with i2cdriver and i2cMini

Post by raio »

Dear Python friends,
I am trying to implement an AprilTag detector and tracker using an inexpensive Atom-based micro PC (~40$ on Ebay, as we can no longer afford the Raspi's which are 2-3X as expensive...!!). This is an off-season, training project for my FIRST robotics team 3932.
The camera is mounted on a tip-tilt platform driven by two RC servos which are connected to a PCA9685 i2c driver. This driver is connected to our micro PC through an i2cMini board. As I am developing this for our FRC team, I would like to use Pyhton. Unfortunately, I am fairly new to Python, as I do all my development in C++. .

Please advise on the changes I need to make to:
adafruit_PCA9685 and
adafruit_servokit

to make them compatible with the
i2cdriver
library.
Thank you for your help.
Raio.
