Problems with PiFace Emulator and Scratch about pifacedigitalio

[tompreston]

Ah, it appears that the documentation on our main website is out of date. I've put it on the todo list.

The latest version does not have a view control. Instead, a new window is created when you make a new PiFace Digital instance. For example (with only PiFace Digital 0 connected):

python3
>>> import pifacedigital_emulator
>>> pfd0 = pifacedigital_emulator.PiFaceDigital(0)
>>> pfd1 = pifacedigital_emulator.PiFaceDigital(1)
No PiFace Digital detected, running without PiFace Digital.
>>>

This will bring up two emulator windows. You can put this into a script if you like for quick launching.

'Stop hosting mesh' sounds like MESH is already running. Does the scratch handler not work?
