PortalBase helper library for the Yoto Players

Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
* `Register <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Register>`_
* `PortalBase <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PortalBase>`_
* `PCF8563 <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PCF8563>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_
or individual libraries can be installed using
`circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>`_.

Installing from PyPI
=====================

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-yotoplayer/>`_.
To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-yotoplayer

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-yotoplayer

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-yotoplayer

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
==========================================================

Make sure that you have ``circup`` installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install circup

With ``circup`` installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

    circup install adafruit_yotoplayer

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

    circup update

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    from adafruit_yoto import Yoto

    yoto = Yoto(
    default_bg=0x000000,
    rotation=0,
    debug=False,
    auto_refresh=True,
    )

    title_index = yoto.add_text(
        text="Hello World!",
        text_position=(yoto.display.width // 2, yoto.display.height // 2),
        text_color=0xFFFFFF,
        text_scale=3,
        text_anchor_point=(0.5, 0.5),
        is_data=False
    )

    if yoto.peripherals.nfc:
        print(f"NFC: {yoto.peripherals.nfc.device_name}")
    if yoto.peripherals.dac:
        print(f"DAC: ES8156 (Chip ID: {yoto.peripherals.dac.chip_id:04X})")
    if yoto.peripherals.battery:
        part = yoto.peripherals.battery.part_info
        print(f"Battery: {part['part_number']}")
    if yoto.peripherals.rtc:
        print(f"RTC: {'Valid' if yoto.peripherals.rtc_valid else 'Needs Set'}")

    while True:
        pass
