Class Hierarchy

• object: The most base type
  • zio.Agent: Agent class is used to talk to agent program running in the ZIO board.
  • exceptions.BaseException: Common base class for all exceptions
    • exceptions.Exception: Common base class for all non-exit exceptions.
      • zio.I2CNoAckError: Exception raised when an acknowledgement is not received, during an I2C transaction.
      • exceptions.StandardError: Base class for all standard Python exceptions that do not represent interpreter exiting.
        • exceptions.EnvironmentError: Base class for I/O related errors.
          • exceptions.IOError: I/O operation failed.
            • zio.ProtocolError: Exception raised when there are problems communicating with the agent.
              • zio.DisconnectError: Exception raised when the ZIO motherboard has been physcially disconnected from the host.
  • zio.Module
    • zio.Analog
      • zio.ADC: ADC class is used to access analog inputs usually driven by sensors.
      • zio.DAC: DAC class is used to drive analog output pins, usually used for generating waveforms, audio signals, etc.
    • zio.GPIO: GPIO class is used to control devices over general purpose IO pins.
    • zio.I2C: I2C class is used to access devices over the I2C bus.
    • zio.Motherboard: Motherboard class is used to perform operations that are global to all modules in the interface board.
    • zio.PWM: PWM class is used to rapidly turn on and off an output pin.
    • zio.SPI: SPI class is used to access devices over the SPI bus.
