PiSpi: where art though?

Hi everyone,

I’ve managed to get GPIO working via the built in GPIO module, but can’t seem to find support or examples for SPI. I’m trying to interface with the waveshare 9.7 inch wink display. The code it comes with is for raspbian.

Any pointers?

I believe the site was owned by Bill Antonia.
Wayback machine captured the pages, but sadly not the resident zip files.

However, taking a slightly different tack you might find someone who has a copy, or engineered the same – have a look on this site here – specifically the PaPiRus software.

OK so Bill’s site may not be available but Jon Abbott had the PiSPI module available in his pi-topUtils
application on the JASPP forum so pop over there for the module.

I don’t know where the source is available from.

Update: Link updated to Pi-TopsUtils 107 with PiSPI in.

Yeah, I saw that but it also says “PiSpi module required”…

Are there any other official or unofficial module for SPI?

(Post above mine: We posted at the same time. Will look at that)

Is not one source sufficient? PiSPI is distributed with SatNav (which can control a PaPiRus) with Bill’s permission.

Hi, was too occupied last year supporting teaching staff whilst at home so was not looking at the forum posts.

I know this is an old thread but the source for PiSPI is downloadable from Here
I used to have a server running in the cloud with multiple sites but most I moved elsewhere, so I decided it was too expensive for my purposes and didn’t renew. However, through the power of DDNS I have a NAS set up at home where the above link can access.

By all means, use the module, if you make any changes please let me know so it can be improved. The SWI range is registered so shouldn’t clash with other modules.
