akira 3294c5e980 docs: Update documentation for improved clarity and consistency
Revised various sections across multiple documentation files to reflect
updated methods (`run_plc` replacing manual setup with `cycleloop`) and
adjust for new default parameters (e.g., `autorefresh`). Enhanced
descriptions for timers, Cycletools usage, and new method explanations.
Removed outdated or redundant examples and updated system requirements.

Welcome to RevPiModIO Documentation!

RevPiModIO is a Python3 module for programming Revolution Pi hardware from KUNBUS GmbH. It provides easy access to all devices and IOs from the piCtory configuration, supporting both cyclic (PLC-style) and event-driven programming paradigms.

Key Features

  • Dual Programming Models: Cyclic (PLC-style) and event-driven approaches
  • Direct Hardware Access: Simple Python interface to all I/O devices
  • Automatic Configuration: Loads piCtory device configuration
  • Event System: Callbacks for value changes and timer events
  • Open Source: LGPLv2 license, no licensing fees

Quick Example

Cyclic Programming:

import revpimodio2

def main(ct):
    if ct.io.button.value:
        ct.io.led.value = True

revpimodio2.run_plc(main)

Event-Driven Programming:

import revpimodio2
rpi = revpimodio2.RevPiModIO(autorefresh=True)

def on_change(ioname, iovalue):
    print(f"{ioname} = {iovalue}")

rpi.io.button.reg_event(on_change)
rpi.handlesignalend()
rpi.mainloop()
