This tool shows hardware and environmental information from sensors
connected to the I2C (TWI) bus. A number of hardware interfaces for I2C slave
devices have been available for decades (most notably the ICY Zorro board but
also a number of bitbang interfaces for Parallel/Serial and Floppy port).
Sensei shows data that can be gathered through different sensors on the
Workbench. A list of supported chipsets can be gathered from the current
state of the i2csensors.library distribution.
Sensei is a Commodity and can be controlled by the Commodities Exchange
program.
Some of the customization options are available by the pull-down menu. There
are additional options available as tooltypes (colors, bevel box styles,
text pens).

Requirements:
- I2C hardware interface with matching i2c.library and one or more connected
sensors (see Aminet:docs/hard/icy.lzh, Aminet:docs/hard/i2clib40.lha or
https://gitlab.com/HenrykRichter/cpldicy for potential options)
- i2csensors.library (V2+) alongside sensor definitions in devs:Sensors
(included here, Sources/SDK at https://gitlab.com/HenrykRichter/i2csensors)
Installation:
An installer script is provided that will install both i2csensors.library
and Sensei.
If you like to start Sensei at boot time, just put the program into
SYS:WBStartup.
Sensei can be started directly from Workbench or CLI.
Troubleshooting and other tips:
First, make sure that your I2C interface is working. The i2clib distribution
contains a CLI tool called I2CScan. Once I2CScan finds the devices connected
to your I2C bus without complaints, you are probably good to go with basic
operation.
Next, verify that i2csensors.library (2.4 as of this writing) is installed
in LIBS: and sensor definitions matching the connected I2C devices are
present in DEVS:Sensors/. The CLI tool "simplesensors" supplied with the
library can poll and display data from sensors.
Sensei will filter out sensors that are defined in the configuration files
but don't respond. These will be shown by "simplesensors" with a zero
output.
Known issues:
The two row display (SHOWTITLE) will work only if the font height is less
than half of the history box height. For large fonts, please adjust BOXH
accordingly.
Synopsis:
The program options are the same for starting from CLI or Workbench.
In the latter case, the options are stored as Tooltypes within the icon.
