Project: Circuitpython busio compatibility layer for pslab-python

Project Description
The PSLab project has many instruments and supports some external sensors, but there are many sensors which are supported by pslab board yet to be implemented. Since Adafruit maintains a large repository of sensor drivers, we can make use of it by writing a compatibility layer between busio and pslab-python. In this project, I will refactor pslab-python’s serial bus modules and add busio wrapper which uses pslab-python’s modules internally.
Project Status
Fully Completed.
