Alimata

What is it?

Alimata is a python library used to simplify the implementation of firmetix library

Requirements

• python 3.7 or higher
• Firmetix
• Fimetix4Arduino

Installing

Firmetix

To install Fimetix on Linux (including Raspberry Pi) and macOS computers, open a terminal window and type: sudo pip3 install firmetix

For Windows users type: pip install firmetix

Firmetix arduino librarie

1. Open the Arduino IDE and select Tools/Manage Libraries
2. Search for "Firmetix"
3. Install
4. Firmetix also requires other library just install all of them.
5. Open the Firmetix/Firmetix4Arduino example
6. If you plan to use multiple arduino use #define ARDUINO_INSTANCE_ID 1
7. Flash it to the arduino

Code structure

Board

Creating a new board board = Board()

Making the setup and loop function and starting the board

def setup():
    #Code here is run once
    pass

def loop():
    #Code here is run in a loop
    pass

#Starting the board by passing the setup and loop function
board.start(setup,loop)

#Shuting the board down
board.shutdown()

All options of the board

#Create the new board (optional board_id and COM_port)
board = Board(board_id, COM_port)

#Starting the board setup and loop async function
board.start(setup,loop)

#Use to set the pin mode with the type (INPUT, OUTPUT, ANALOG, PWM, SONAR)
board.set_pin_mode(pin, type, callback, differential, echo_pin, timeout, sensor_type, min_pulse, max_pulse)

#Use to write to a pin with the type (ANALOG, PWM, DIGITAL, TONE, TONE_CONTINUOUS, TONE_STOP, SERVO, STEPPER)
board.write_pin(pin, value, type, duration, step)

Sensors

Creating a new sensor object (button in this case) button1 = Button(board, 2)

Actuators

Creating a new actuator object (led in this case) led1 = Led(board, 3)
