Configuration
Starting from sketch version 1.4 the RPICT4T4 is configured over serial.
See general instructions for configuration over serial.
Emoncms Config (Emonhub)
For default configuration.

Python Example
Please note the uploaded sketch must have CSV enabled. The example script below will be a good starting point.
First of all make sure you have python-serial package installed
$ sudo apt-get install python-serial
Then copy the following into an executable file and run it.
#!/usr/bin/python
import serial
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyAMA0', 38400)
try:
while 1:
response = ser.readline()
z = response.split(",")
if len(z)>6:
print "Power 1: %s Watts" % z[0]
print "Power 2: %s Watts" % z[1]
print "Power 3: %s Watts" % z[2]
print "Power 4: %s Watts" % z[3]
print "Temperature 1: %s C" % z[4]
print "Temperature 2: %s C" % z[5]
print "Temperature 3: %s C" % z[6]
print "Temperature 4: %s C" % z[7][:-2]
except KeyboardInterrupt:
ser.close()
