InPhase Python Module

This python module contains all helper functions and classes that are helpful to run experiments with the InPhase system.

Installation

This copies the module to /usr/... so you can use it system-wide in Python 3 via import inphase:

• Clone this repository
• Change directory into the cloned repository
• sudo python3 setup.py install

Installation for development

If you want to develop this module you can instruct the setup not to copy the module to /usr/... but just link it there. Any changes inside this repository are then available system-wide instantly:

• sudo python3 setup.py develop (instead of install)

Check test coverage

1. Run nosetests --with-coverage to run unit tests and generate a coverage report
2. Run coverage report -m to display test coverage of the inphase module

Examples

Two example usages are provided in the examples folder.

live_distance.py connects via a serial interface to a sensor node and receives raw measurement data. It then computes the distance and prints it to the terminal.

testbed_example.py is a more complex example. It shows how to record measurement data for later use.
