Congratulations!​

You have successfully set up the development environment and run your first program on the PYCO development board. Explore more examples and start building your own projects!

Minimalist AI Data Reading Example: AI on demand once​

"""
AI - AI_on_demand_once.py.
This example demonstrates how to read AI data in on demand mode.
"""
# 1. Import the pywpc library
import pywpc

## Read data acquisition
# 2. Call AI_readOnDemand() to get the raw AI data instantly!
ai_data = pywpc.AI_readOnDemand()

# 3. Print the data
print(ai_data)

This example demonstrates the extreme simplicity of reading Analog Input (AI) data using the pywpc library.

You don't need complex configurations or channel settings. Just call a simple function to get data instantly.
