Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

board

✓ from pins import board

✗ from pins.board import board

board is a top-level function, not a submodule

Board

✓ from pins import Board

✗ from pins.board import Board

Board class is at the top level of the package

Quickstart: create a local board, pin a DataFrame, and read it back.

import os from pins import board # Create a local board (requires a folder) local_board = board.LocalBoard("my_pins") # Publish an object (e.g., a pandas DataFrame) import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame({'x': [1,2,3], 'y': [4,5,6]}) local_board.pin_write(df, "my_data") # Read it back read_df = local_board.pin_read("my_data") print(read_df)

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.8 changed the API: `pin()` and `board_register()` are replaced by `board` and `pin_write/pin_read`.

fix

Use `from pins import board; b = board.LocalBoard(...)` and `b.pin_write(obj, name)` instead.

affects: <0.8

gotchaThe `board` function returns a board instance; you must call its methods. Direct function calls like `pin_write()` without a board instance fail.

fix

Ensure you call `board_instance.pin_write(...)` not `pin_write(...)`.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `pin_get()` alias is deprecated; use `pin_read()`.

fix

Replace `pin_get()` with `pin_read()`.

affects: >=0.8

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'board' from 'pins'

The import path is wrong; `board` is not a submodule.

fix

Run `from pins import board` (not `from pins.board import board`).

AttributeError: module 'pins' has no attribute 'Board'

Old import pattern using `pins.Board`; the class is now `board.Board` after importing `board`.

fix

Use `from pins import board; board.Board(...)` or `from pins import Board` (top-level).
