## 📥 Installation

### For CLI Usage (Recommended)

Install as a standalone tool with global access to the CLI:

```bash
uv tool install pinviz
```

After installation, `pinviz` will be available globally in your terminal. See [Quick Start](#quick-start) below to generate your first diagram.

### As a Project Dependency

If you want to use PinViz as a library in your Python project:

```bash
# Using uv
uv add pinviz

# Using pip
pip install pinviz
```

**Note**: If you install with `uv add`, the CLI tool will only be available via `uv run pinviz`. For direct CLI access, use `uv tool install` instead.

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Try a Built-in Example

The fastest way to get started is to generate one of the built-in examples:

```bash
# Generate a BH1750 light sensor wiring diagram
pinviz example bh1750 -o bh1750.svg

# See all available examples
pinviz list
```

This creates an SVG file you can open in any web browser or vector graphics editor.

> **Note**: If you installed with `uv add` instead of `uv tool install`, prefix commands with `uv run`:
> ```bash
> uv run pinviz example bh1750 -o bh1750.svg
> ```

### 2. Create Your Own Diagram

Once you've seen what PinViz can do, create your own configuration file `my-diagram.yaml`:

```yaml
title: "BH1750 Light Sensor Wiring"
board: "raspberry_pi_5"

devices:
  - type: "bh1750"
    name: "BH1750"

connections:
  - board_pin: 1     # 3V3
    device: "BH1750"
    device_pin: "VCC"

  - board_pin: 6     # GND
    device: "BH1750"
    device_pin: "GND"

  - board_pin: 5     # GPIO3 (I2C SCL)
    device: "BH1750"
    device_pin: "SCL"

  - board_pin: 3     # GPIO2 (I2C SDA)
    device: "BH1750"
    device_pin: "SDA"

show_gpio_diagram: true  # Optional: include GPIO pin reference
```

Generate your diagram:

```bash
pinviz my-diagram.yaml -o output.svg
```

### 3. Using Python API

For programmatic diagram generation in your Python projects:

```python
from pinviz import boards, devices, Connection, Diagram, SVGRenderer

# Create board and device
board = boards.raspberry_pi_5()
sensor = devices.bh1750_light_sensor()

# Define connections
connections = [
    Connection(1, "BH1750", "VCC"),  # 3V3 to VCC
    Connection(6, "BH1750", "GND"),  # GND to GND
    Connection(5, "BH1750", "SCL"),  # GPIO3/SCL to SCL
    Connection(3, "BH1750", "SDA"),  # GPIO2/SDA to SDA
]

# Create and render diagram
diagram = Diagram(
    title="BH1750 Light Sensor Wiring",
    board=board,
    devices=[sensor],
    connections=connections,
    show_gpio_diagram=True  # Optional: include GPIO pin reference
)

renderer = SVGRenderer()
renderer.render(diagram, "output.svg")
```

### Custom Wire Colors

Use the `WireColor` enum for standard electronics wire colors:

```python
from pinviz import (
    boards, devices, Connection, Diagram, SVGRenderer, WireColor
)

# Define connections with custom colors
connections = [
    Connection(1, "BH1750", "VCC", color=WireColor.RED),
    Connection(6, "BH1750", "GND", color=WireColor.BLACK),
    Connection(5, "BH1750", "SCL", color=WireColor.BLUE),
    Connection(3, "BH1750", "SDA", color=WireColor.GREEN),
]

# Or use hex colors directly
connections = [
    Connection(1, "BH1750", "VCC", color="#FF0000"),  # Red
]
```

**Available colors**: RED, BLACK, WHITE, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE, PURPLE,
GRAY, BROWN, PINK, CYAN, MAGENTA, LIME, TURQUOISE

## 💻 CLI Commands

See the [Quick Start](#quick-start) section for basic usage. All examples below assume you installed with `uv tool install pinviz` or `pip install pinviz`. If you installed with `uv add`, prefix all commands with `uv run`.

### Rendering Custom Diagrams

```bash
# From YAML/JSON file with specified output
pinviz my-diagram.yaml -o output.svg

# Short form (output defaults to <config-name>.svg)
pinviz my-diagram.yaml
```

### Working with Built-in Examples

```bash
# List all available built-in examples
pinviz list

# Generate a specific example
pinviz example bh1750 -o bh1750.svg
pinviz example ir_led -o ir_led.svg
pinviz example i2c_spi -o i2c_spi.svg
```

## MCP Server (AI-Powered Diagram Generation)

PinViz includes an **MCP (Model Context Protocol) server** that enables natural language diagram generation through AI assistants like Claude Desktop.

### What is the MCP Server?

The MCP server provides:

- **Natural Language Parsing**: Generate diagrams from prompts like "Connect BME280 and LED to my Raspberry Pi"
- **Intelligent Pin Assignment**: Automatic I2C bus sharing, SPI chip select allocation, and conflict detection
- **Device Database**: 25+ pre-configured devices (sensors, displays, HATs, components)
- **URL-Based Device Discovery**: Add new devices by parsing datasheets from URLs

### Quick Start with Claude Desktop

### GPIO Details: With vs Without

You can control whether to show the GPIO pin reference diagram. Here's a comparison:

**With GPIO Details** (`--gpio` or `show_gpio_diagram: true`):

Shows complete GPIO pinout reference for easy wiring verification.

```bash
pinviz example bh1750 --gpio -o diagram.svg
```

![BH1750 with GPIO](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nordstad/PinViz/main/images/examples/bh1750_with_gpio.svg)

**Without GPIO Details** (`--no-gpio` or default):

Cleaner, more compact diagram - 35% smaller file size.

```bash
pinviz example bh1750 --no-gpio -o diagram.svg
```

![BH1750 without GPIO](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nordstad/PinViz/main/images/examples/bh1750_without_gpio.svg)

## ⚙️ Configuration Reference

### Diagram Options

#### GPIO Pin Reference

Control whether to show the GPIO pin reference diagram on the right side. This displays all 40 GPIO pins with their functions and color-coded roles.

**In YAML config:**

```yaml
show_gpio_diagram: true  # Include GPIO pin reference (default: false)
```

**Via CLI:**

```bash
# Show GPIO details (larger file, more complete reference)
pinviz example bh1750 --gpio -o diagram.svg

# Hide GPIO details (smaller file, cleaner look)
pinviz example bh1750 --no-gpio -o diagram.svg

# For config files (CLI flag overrides config value)
pinviz diagram.yaml --gpio -o output.svg
```

**Comparison:**

- **With GPIO** (`--gpio`): ~130KB SVG, includes full pinout reference
- **Without GPIO** (`--no-gpio`): ~85KB SVG, 35% smaller, cleaner diagram

### Board Selection

Currently supported boards:

- `raspberry_pi_5` (aliases: `rpi5`, `rpi`)

### Built-in Device Types

- `bh1750` - BH1750 I2C light sensor
- `ir_led_ring` - IR LED ring module
- `i2c_device` - Generic I2C device
- `spi_device` - Generic SPI device

### Connection Configuration

Connections use **physical pin numbers** (1-40), not BCM GPIO numbers:

```yaml
connections:
  - board_pin: 1           # Physical pin number (required)
    device: "Device Name"  # Device name (required)
    device_pin: "VCC"      # Device pin name (required)
    color: "#FF0000"       # Custom wire color (optional)
    style: "mixed"         # Wire style: orthogonal, curved, mixed (optional)
    components:            # Inline components (optional)
      - type: "resistor"
        value: "220Ω"
        position: 0.55     # Position along wire (0.0-1.0, default: 0.55)
```

### Inline Components

Add resistors, capacitors, or diodes directly on wire connections:

```yaml
connections:
  - board_pin: 11
    device: "Red LED"
    device_pin: "+"
    color: "#FF0000"
    components:
      - type: "resistor"   # Component type: resistor, capacitor, diode
        value: "220Ω"      # Display value (required)
        position: 0.55     # Position along wire path (0.0 = board, 1.0 = device)
```

Python API:

```python
from pinviz import Component, ComponentType, Connection

connection = Connection(
    board_pin=11,
    device_name="Red LED",
    device_pin_name="+",
    color="#FF0000",
    components=[
        Component(
            type=ComponentType.RESISTOR,
            value="220Ω",
            position=0.55
        )
    ]
)
```

### Custom Devices

Define custom devices inline:

```yaml
devices:
  - name: "My Custom Sensor"
    width: 80.0
    height: 50.0
    color: "#4A90E2"
    pins:
      - name: "VCC"
        role: "3V3"
        position: {x: 5.0, y: 10.0}
      - name: "GND"
        role: "GND"
        position: {x: 5.0, y: 20.0}
      - name: "SDA"
        role: "I2C_SDA"
        position: {x: 5.0, y: 30.0}
      - name: "SCL"
        role: "I2C_SCL"
        position: {x: 5.0, y: 40.0}
```
