   pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/garrett-he/weighbridge-simulator.git
   

2. Download compiled binary files from Repository Releases.

Quickstart

1. Prepare a file contains weight list in format:

   000.000
   000.020
   000.160
   000.420
   000.780
   005.660
   005.800
   006.040
   006.120
   006.100
   006.080

2. Run wb-simulator to start simulation:

   wb-simulator --data-file FILE
   

Then you can receive the weight values from the created port /dev/pts/N in * raw* data format.

weighbridge-simulator will convert the input data into raw weighbridge format before sending it to a serial port, like:

012.345 will be converted to 543.210=
