CounterFit Shims - Grove

Shims for the Seeed Grove SI114X sunlight sensor to use with the CounterFit virtual IoT device app.

See the Seeed Python SI114X Docs for the API documentation.

Getting started

To use these shims, you will need to install CounterFit and have it running, with the appropriate hardware created.

• Install this package from pip:

  pip install counterfit-shims-seeed-python-si114x
  

• Import the Grove modules as normal, but using the counterfit_shims_seeed_python_si114x package instead of the seeed-python-si114x package, as well as importing the CounterFitConnection from the counterfit_shims_grove.counterfit_connection module:

  from counterfit_connection import CounterFitConnection
  from counterfit_shims_seeed_python_si114x import si114x
  

• Configure the connection to the CounterFit app. Change the hostname and port to where you are running it:

  CounterFitConnection.init('127.0.0.1', 5000)
  

• Write your Grove code as usual. The default assumes you hve a light sensor on pin 0, IR on pin 1 and UV on pin 2. You can change these passing additional arguments to the init

  sensor =.si114x()
  light = sensor.ReadVisible()
  ir = sensor.ReadIR()
  uv = sensor.ReadUV()
