GrovePi

Use the GrovePi+ and sensors in Elixir on a Raspberry Pi. If you have a Beaglebone Green or other port that has direct access to sensors (rather than going through a GrovePi+), take a look at nerves_grove.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding grovepi to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:grovepi, "~> 0.5.1"}]
end

The grovepi library uses Elixir Circuits - I2C for I2C communication to the GrovePi+. This only works on Raspberry Pi computers. If you're working on another platform, a stub is available for debugging and testing. When building grovepi standalone, be aware that circuits_i2c is only used for MIX_ENV=prod builds. To use the stub in your own programs, add the following to your configuration:

  config :grovepi, :i2c, GrovePi.I2C
