Adafruit's legacy monolithic Python library for Raspberry Pi hardware, including sensor drivers like the BMP085 and TCS34725 and character LCD support. It has been deprecated and split into individual pip-installable CircuitPython/Blinka libraries.
Use cases
- read sensor data from a BMP085 on a Raspberry Pi
- drive a character LCD plate with Python on a Pi
- find legacy Adafruit Raspberry Pi Python example code
- interface TCS34725 color sensor with a Raspberry Pi
- maintain an old project that depends on Adafruit's original Pi code
When to choose
- you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on this repository
- you need the original pre-refactor Adafruit Pi code from the legacy branch
When to avoid
- starting a new Raspberry Pi hardware project
- you need Python 3 support or active maintenance
- you want pip-installable libraries for modern sensors
