Introduction¶
The binascii module contains a number of methods to convert between binary and various ASCII-encoded binary representations.
Dependencies¶
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI¶
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-binascii
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-binascii
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-binascii
Usage Example¶
Hex <-> Binary Conversions
from adafruit_binascii import hexlify, unhexlify
# Binary data.
data = b"CircuitPython is Awesome!"
# Get the hexadecimal representation of the binary data
hex_data = hexlify(data)
print("Hex Data: ", hex_data)
# Get the binary data represented by hex_data
bin_data = unhexlify(hex_data)
print("Binary Data: ", bin_data)
