Kiwrious Python Sensor Library - An open-source Python library for programming with real-time sensor data.

Background

Input to programs created using Python typically happen using keyboard and mouse. The ability to incorporate real-time environmental data measured through sensors as input could open doors to new programming experiences.

With this in mind, we have developed a toolkit consisting of six plug-and-play Kiwrious USB sensors that measure various physical phenomena such as humidity, temperature, conductance, air quality, light and heart rate.

Project Description

The goal of this project is to develop a python library that services all sensor communications to allow users to easily program with their data.

Basic functions that the library should handle include establishing stable sensor connectivity, decoding live sensor data and providing appropriate methods for working with this data.

Users can then use this sensor data in tasks like visualizations (e.g. Matplotlib), creating data models for investigations (e.g. sci-kit) or developing games that react to changes in the environment (e.g. pygame).

Installation Guide

This library can be installed through pip like so: pip install kiwrious_lib

Available Resources

All sensor hardware and documentation on accessing sensor data.

Still need to write how to use each method. We will write up documentation in the future.
