I8DeviceDLL is a library package for a 3rd party to be able make use of Infinite8 Devices without any desctop application.
There is some classes and methodes in this dll file for users to minimize complexiti of hardware protocols.
With this pakage users can easily connect to any Infinite8 devices from many programming languege including C++, matlab and python.
## Getting Started (python)
This dll requires the following packages to work fine.
### Prerequisites
Use pip script to install `scipy` , `numpy`and `pythonnet` . These packages are used to read .dll files writen in C# and calculate some anticipated data.
```
pip install scipy
pip install numpy
pip install pythonnet
```
### Import dll file
After installing the requrment packages, import ".net for python" (clr) and make a reference (copy) of the .dll file with thess commands:
```
import clr
clr.AddReference(the absolute path of i8.dll file)
# for example: clr.AddReference('C:/Users/i8-tech/Desktop/csharp_dlls/infinite8dll/I8Library1/bin/Debug/I8Library1.dll')
```
### Instance from main class of i8devices
Just import `Device` class, And then you can use it by declaring an instance of `Device` class.
```
from I8Devices import Device
myAwsomeHolyShitImDyingForThisDevice = Device()
```
## How to Use
First of all, you should plug your device into your PC, and also install `ST micro COM Port Package` from `Device Manager` (it should be installed itself if your connected to internet).
After that type in the `Connect` method
```
myAwsomeHolyShitImDyingForThisDevice.Connect()
```
If device is successfully connected to the PC, you can use the following methods and properties to retrieve Device information, or send a command/ recieve data to/from the device:
