Installation¶
The coinespy module can be installed using pip:
Linux users may have to use the below commands due to co-existence of Python 2.7 and Python 3.x
The module can be found on https://pypi.org/project/coinespy/ and also in the COINES installation folder, precisely in the subfolder coines-api\pc\python
, in which a python wheel package is placed.
It is highly recommended that the user is testing the following script (can be found as
examples\python\coinespy_test.py
in the COINES installation) to check if the installation was
successful:
import coinespy as cpy
from coinespy import ErrorCodes
COM_INTF = cpy.CommInterface.USB
if __name__ == "__main__":
board = cpy.CoinesBoard()
print(’coinespy version - %s’ % cpy.__version__)
board.open_comm_interface(COM_INTF)
if board.error_code != ErrorCodes.COINES_SUCCESS:
print(f’Could not connect to board: {board.error_code}’)
else:
b_info = board.get_board_info()
print(f"coines lib version: {board.lib_version}")
print(f’BoardInfo: HW/SW ID: {hex(b_info.HardwareId)}/{hex(b_info.SoftwareId)}’)
board.close_comm_interface()
