# This program is an interactive utility you can use to set the I2C
# addresses for a single Motoron controller or multiple controllers.
#
# When you run this program in an terminal, it prompts you to enter a
# command.  Type the command you want to run and then press Enter.
 
help_message = """
To assign an I2C address to a Motoron, type "a" followed by the address
(in decimal) while the JMP1 pin of the Motoron you wish to change is
shorted to GND.  For example, "a7" sets the address of the Motoron to
decimal 17.
 
Alternatively, you can type "a" by itself in order to automatically
to have this program automatically pick an address for you.
 
To make the Motoron start using its new address, you can reset it by
power cycling it, driving its RST line low, or by typing "r".
 
The "s" command does a simple scan of the bus to see which addresses
have devices responding.  This can help you make sure you have set up
your I2C bus correctly.
 
The "i" command goes further, sending extra commands to identify the
Motoron devices on the bus and print information about them.
 
Warning: The "i" command sends Motoron commands to every I2C device on
the bus.  If you have devices on your bus that are not Motorons, this
could cause undesired behavior.
 
Warning: The "a" and "r" commands use the I2C general call address (0), so
they might cause undesired behavior on other devices that use that address.
Also, they will not work if you disabled the general call address on a
Motoron.
