Overview
dart_periphery is a Dart library that provides low-level access to Linux peripheral I/O interfaces, including GPIO, I2C, SPI, PWM, LED, ADC, MMIO, and serial communication. It serves as a Dart port of the c-periphery C library, enabling direct hardware interaction on Linux-based systems. Designed for IoT and embedded applications, it allows developers to control and monitor physical devices programmatically from Dart code. The package is ideal for projects requiring real-time hardware interfacing with minimal abstraction.
