reminder for future testing!

@ladyada Is this something that still needs to be tested?

[ladyada]

yeah i think so :/

Picked one of these up a while back and decided to give this a check. Sorry to report - it does not work.

There are some Python 2-isms with bytearray usage:

Adafruit_CircuitPython_SI4713/adafruit_si4713.py

Line 460 in a8d990a

self._BUFFER[2] = station[i] if i < station_length else ' '

But even with a quick patch to fix that, seem to only be getting the 1st 4 bytes set. Sanity checked with Arduino/UNO and that seemed to work OK.

I'll see if I can carve out some time to dig into this since I'm now kind of setup. Haven't even looked at datasheet yet. So for now, just reporting status quo.

yep not toooo surprising, arduino works and it was a pita to get working so just copy that :D

Fixed by #7 to work at least as well as Arduino version. Closing for now.

huzzah!
