kandi X-RAY | twint Summary

twint is a Python library typically used in Automation, Scraper applications. twint has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can install using 'pip install twint' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

No authentication. No API. No limits. Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in Python that allows for scraping Tweets from Twitter profiles without using Twitter's API. Twint utilizes Twitter's search operators to let you scrape Tweets from specific users, scrape Tweets relating to certain topics, hashtags & trends, or sort out sensitive information from Tweets like e-mail and phone numbers. I find this very useful, and you can get really creative with it too. Twint also makes special queries to Twitter allowing you to also scrape a Twitter user's followers, Tweets a user has liked, and who they follow without any authentication, API, Selenium, or browser emulation.

I2C not reading

Asked 2021-Oct-27 at 12:38

I'm trying to interface with a BNO055 breakout board from a Teensy 2.0, but I'm having trouble reading from the BNO055. It has different registers that you can access to read data from the chip. To start, I'm just trying to read the IDs of some internal parts. No matter what I do, I seem to only get the last value that I put in TWDR. Trying to do a read doesn't seem to populate it. This is what I have in my main:

ANSWER

Answered 2021-Oct-27 at 12:38

This answer was written before the code in the question was updated in line with this answer. Not knowing this would confuse you as to how/why this answer(s|ed) the question.

The basic problem you're having is that you're issuing I2C start conditions and I2C stop conditions in places where they don't belong. The START an STOP conditions go at the beginning and end of an entire I2C transaction and not around each individual byte.

The data portion of a transaction is always entirely composed of data to be read or entirely composed of data to be written. So, performing a read of a register of a typical I2C device requires two I2C transactions. One involving writing the register address and the next involving reading the register's data, looking something like the following:

[I2C-START] [WRITE(I2C-DEVICE-WRITING-ADDRESS)] [WRITE(REGISTER-ADDRESS)] [I2C-STOP]
The write-transaction were we inform the I2C device of the register we want to read data from.
[I2C-START] [WRITE(I2C-DEVICE-READING-ADDESS)] [READ(REGISTER-DATA)] [I2C-STOP]
The read-transaction that conveys the data itself.

Potentially the last stop of the first could/should be omitted to create a I2C "repeated start" (which you probably don't need). So as not to confuse matters, I'm just going to go with the above scheme.

What you have, currently, looks more like this instead:

[I2C-START] [WRITE(I2C-DEVICE-WRITING-ADDRESS)] [I2C-STOP]
You've an empty write transaction.
[I2C-START] [WRITE(REGISTER-ADDRESS)] [I2C-STOP]
Now a transaction that tries to use a device register address as an I2C bus address
[I2C-START] [WRITE(I2C-DEVICE-READING-ADDRESS)] [I2C-STOP]
You've started a read transaction but didn't read any of the data that would follow if you issued a READ.
[I2C-START] [READ(?)] [I2C-STOP]
An attempt to read when you're supposed to writing either a I2C address (for either a read or write transaction).

The latter one is probably where you're getting in the most trouble and why you're seeing an unchanged TWDR; as an I2C master, you're never going to read a byte immediately following the start condition like that, since there's always supposed a byte written there containing address bits.

Put in terms of your code, you'd want something like:

With Python 3.6+ you could use f-string formatting syntax to pad ({i:02}) the numbers generated with range. Optionally, use header=None to indicate that your data has no header, or, if does have, set the header value accordingly to obtain the exact number of valid data rows.
