`SparkFun Qwiic Quad Solid State Relay Kit (COM-16566) <https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16833>`_

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

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_
* `SparkFun Qwiic Quad Solid State Relay Kit (COM-16566) Hardware <https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16833>`_

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
=====================
.. note:: This library is not available on PyPI yet. Install documentation is included
   as a standard element. Stay tuned for PyPI availability!

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

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install circuitpython-sparkfun-qwiicquadsolidstaterelay

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

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install circuitpython-sparkfun-qwiicquadsolidstaterelay

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

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



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 sparkfun_qwiicquadsolidstaterelay

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

    circup update

Usage Example
=============
.. code-block::
