FakeRPi

Develop for Raspberry Pi on Windows or other systems that don't have RPi.GPIO libraries.

It implements RPi.GPIO functions and return None values.

When we are developing on some IDE's, they will verify the code syntax and consequently report many errors as the library is not present on include paths. That can be annoying for the user, as they see a lot of errors everywhere and some red lines. With FakeRPi you can fix that and also benefits from code completion and some utilities.

This is not an emulator of Rasberry Pi!

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/sn4k3/FakeRPi

When to use

Developing on Windows and sync with Raspberry Pi;
IDE can't find the library or complete code;
You don't have an Raspberry Pi yet, but you want to start your coding;
You just want to use the utilities to simplify your code.

Features

Implements all methods and constants from RPi.GPIO;
Supports RPiO;
Code completion;
Some useful utilities.
