FM Transmitter Library

This library provides Robot Framework keywords to control an FM transmitter remotely via XML-RPC. It consists of:

• A Robot Framework library (FMTransmitter.py) for test automation.
• An XML-RPC server (FMTransmitterServer.py) to be run on a Raspberry Pi that interfaces with the transmitter hardware via I2C.

Installation

To install the FM Transmitter Robot Framework library from PyPI:

pip install robotframework-parrot-fmtransmitter

To install from git repo use the following command:

$ pip install .

Server Dependencies (for Raspberry Pi)

Install smbus (Python I2C library):

$ sudo pip install smbus

Install I2C tools (for debugging and testing hardware):

$ sudo apt install i2c-tools

Enable I2C interface on the Raspberry Pi using:

$ sudo raspi-config

Copy the project files to the Raspberry Pi:

$ scp -f rpi-fm-setup/ <pi_username>@<raspberry_pi_ip>:/home/<pi_username>/

SSH into the Raspberry Pi:

$ ssh <pi_username>@<raspberry_pi_ip>

Run the install.sh script to set up the server and enable it to start at boot:

$ sudo bash install.sh

Example

Example of using the library in Robot Framework is available example.robot.
