pyattyscomm

======================== Python API for the Attys

Attys is a lightweight wearable bluetooth data acquisition box which can measure anything from temperature to ECG.

It's cross platform and runs under Linux and Windows

It has two 24 bit analogue channels, an accelerometer and a magnetometer.

Required packages under Linux

For Ubuntu Linux install libbluetooth-dev and swig::

  sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev swig

Quick start guide

Here are the basic steps how to use the API::

  # load the module
  import pyattyscomm

  # Gets the AttysScan class which scans for Attys via bluetooth
  s = pyattyscomm.AttysScan()

  # Scan for Attys
  s.scan()

  # get the 1st Attys
  c = s.getAttysComm(0)

  # create a datacallback
  class AttysCommCallback(pyattyscomm.SampleCallback):
    def hasSample(self,t,v):
      print(t,v) # so more than just printing!

  cb = AttysCommCallback()

  pyattyscomm.connectCallback(c,cb)

  # Start data acquisition in the background
  c.start()

  # sleep here or start a GUI

  # end the acqu
  c.quit()

API documentation

Query it via the python help system::

import pyattyscomm
help(pyattyscomm)

The Python classes have been generated with SWIG. The header files AttysComm.h, AttysCommBase,h and AttysScan.h provide detailed info about the classes:
