IOWJ is dead, long live IOWP!

Post by towaibw »

What was IOWJ again?
The goal was to wrap all IO-Warrior features into Java classes, use multiple special mode functions across several IOWs simultaneously, and handle events for pin inputs. Additionally: Write once, run anywhere. The program shouldn't care which IOW is being used (as long as it's technically feasible). This was also intended for operating systems. Unfortunately, macOS was left out because there was no iowkit library for it.

What is IOWP now?
It is the Python port of IOWJ, but now including macOS support! For compatibility reasons, iowkit.py remains the base.
If you still want to struggle with raw reports yourself, you are welcome to do so. However, in my experience, many potential users (hobbyists) have failed because of these reports, as you have to study datasheets to apply them correctly wink.Documentation and Communication will be better (GitHub, PyPi, Web, Telegram).

To provide better support and a place for exchange, I’ve just launched the official Telegram group for the IOWP (IO-Warrior Python) library.

Join here.

Note on Language: While the community is primarily German-based, English posts are more than welcome! We are happy to help and discuss in both languages.

(Note: I’ve enabled join requests to keep things spam-free. I’ll approve you as soon as possible!)

Best regards
