Description: Python tools to control gpio pins on pl2303, cp210x and (maybe) others.
        
        
        [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/3qvj0prnqc2ebnje/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nekromant/pygpiotools/branch/master)
        
        # Introduction
        
        Remember those cheap usb-to-uart modules that have gpio pins? Want to
        control them from your app in linux, windows and (hopefully) mac. Old
        pl2303gpio doesn’t get the job done? This library aims to fix the
        problems.

        # Installation
        
        ## Requirements
        
        Any recent python 3.x. 3.7 and above should be good. Please report you
        successes so that I can add the information here.
        
        Linux (and mac, perhaps) versions need pyusb. Windows versions need
        Visual Studio Build Tools installed. It’s a huge download, but it’s
        needed. Grab it at [Microsoft download
        site](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017).
        
        ## Building Installing python module
        
            pip install .
        
        This library will be uploaded to pypy once inital work and porting code
        from pl2303gpio is done.
        
            pip install pygpiotools
