Circuit Python Compatability

[MishaShapo]

Does anyone know a good way of porting this library to work in a CircruitPython environment instead of MicroPython?

I started with this:

import sys
import time
import motoron
import board
import busio
from microcontroller import Pin
from adafruit_bus_device.i2c_device import I2CDevice

DEVICE_ADDRESS = 0x10  # device address of DS3231 board

bus = busio.I2C(board.IO15, board.IO7)
device = I2CDevice(bus, DEVICE_ADDRESS)
mc = motoron.MotoronI2C(bus=device)

but I am running into this:

Auto-reload is on. Simply save files over USB to run them or enter REPL to disable.
code.py output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 45, in <module>
  File "/lib/motoron.py", line 363, in reinitialize
  File "/lib/motoron.py", line 1744, in _mpy_send_command_core
AttributeError: 'I2CDevice' object has no attribute 'writeto'

Hello,

You can look at the MicroPython i2c docs for details about what the methods are supposed to do and try to replace them with the CircuitPython equivalents. In this case, it seems that writeto takes the device address as the first argument, while CircuitPython's write command does not need an address, since you're calling it on an I2CDevice object that already knows the address.

So you can rewrite it using the write command and not pass in the address to each call.

Please let us know if you get something working or if you have more questions!
