**Why??**

I do a lot of development on my Powerbook and I got tired of constantly
creating a fake interface for dev on my laptop and testing on Travis.ci or github workflows.

- 2017 Apr 2: **Beta Quality**
- 2017 Apr 8: **Initial** python3 support

So, does this simulate everything on a Raspberry Pi? **No!** Right now
it simulates what I use and need. Over time, more will be added. You are
also welcome to submit pull requests for things I haven\'t added yet.

| | |
| -------- | --------------------- |
| Adafruit | LSM303(accelerometer) |
| nxp_imu | adafruit accelerometer|
| GPIO | gpio pins |
| picamera | camera |
| RPi | PWM |
| smbus | i2c |
| serial | not done yet |

## Install

The preferred way to install this is:

```
pip install fake_rpi
```

## Development

To submit pull requests for new sensors or fixes, just do:

```
git clone https://github.com/MomsFriendlyRobotCompany/fake_rpi.git
cd fake_rpi
poetry install
```

Then do a pull request.

## Usage

To fake RPi.GPIO or smbus, this following
code must be executed before your application:

```python
# Replace libraries by fake ones
import sys
import fake_rpi

sys.modules['RPi'] = fake_rpi.RPi # Fake RPi
sys.modules['RPi.GPIO'] = fake_rpi.RPi.GPIO # Fake GPIO
sys.modules['smbus'] = fake_rpi.smbus # Fake smbus (I2C)
```

Then you can keep your usual imports in your application:

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import smbus

GPIO.setmode(io.BCM) # now use the fake GPIO
b = GPIO.input(21)

sm = smbus.SMBus(1) # now use the fake smbus
b = sm.read_byte_data(0x21, 0x32) # read in a byte
```

Turning on/off fake calls logging:

```python
from fake_rpi import toggle_print

# by default it prints everything to std.error
toggle_print(False) # turn on/off printing
```

But I need `smbus` to return a specific byte for unit testing! Ok, then
create a child of my `smbus` like below and modify *only* the methods
you need changed:

```python
from fake_rpi import smbus
from fake_rpi import printf

class MyBus(smbus.SMBus):
@printf
def read_byte_data(self, i2c_addr, register):
ret = 0xff
if i2c_addr == 0x21:
ret = 0x55
elif i2c_addr == 0x25:
ret = 0x11
return ret

sm = MyBus()
b = sm.read_byte_data(0x21, 0x32) # read in a byte
```

### Printing On or Off

Here is the output from `example.py` in the `git` repo when the printing
is toggled on or off:

```
kevin@Logan fake_rpi $ ./example.py
<<< WARNING: using fake raspberry pi interfaces >>>

kevin@Logan fake_rpi $ ./example.py
<<< WARNING: using fake raspberry pi interfaces >>>
fake_rpi.RPi.PWM.__init__()
fake_rpi.RPi.PWM.start(5,)
fake_rpi.smbus.SMBus.__init__(1,)
fake_rpi.smbus.SMBus.write_byte_data(1, 2, 3)
fake_rpi.smbus.SMBus.read_byte_data(1, 2): 21
fake_rpi.smbus.SMBus.close()
__main__.MyBus.__init__()
__main__.MyBus.read_byte_data(1, 2): 72
__main__.MyBus.read_i2c_block_data(1, 2, 3): [90, 90, 90]
```
