yet another raspberry pi emulator
YARPie is a python module capable of emulating the GPIO port of a Raspberry Pi on your PC (currently only rev. 3, i.e. the 40 pin header of A+/B+ and above). It is designed to test/develop your projects without having access to a Raspberry Pi. It comes with a full implementation of RPi.GPIO 0.6.3 and a way to emulate i2c-devices as well. Pygame is used to display and control the emulated GPIO pins + i2c-devices. Using YARPie requires only minimal changes to your existing python script. Implemantations of other Pi revisions as well as a SPI-module are planed. For details and examples have a look at "manual.pdf".
The current version was developed for python 2.7. To install YARPie:
- Install pygame
- copy the "RPi_emu" sub folder from the "python2.x" folder to your python2.x modules folder (e.g. "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/") or your project folder. In case of python 3 use "RPi_emu" from "python3.x".
To use YARPie:
If your projects only uses the GPIO pins simply replace "import RPi.GPIO as GPIO" by "import RPi_emu.GPIO as GPIO" and run your script.
For details and more advanced usage of YARPie have a look at manual.pdf and/or the provided examples.
