I have a Raspberry PiZero W that is connected via GPIO pins to a flowmeter. This machine is at work, and I'd like to be able to debug my attempt at the flowmeter code that was wonderfully suggested in this SO post: PiZero W connected to two peripherals (GPIO and USB): how to continuously read from both at same time? while at home. I don't care as much about having wifi and network connectivity on the simulated machine, simulating GPIO inputs to the Pi is the most critical function.
Some details about the system: PiZero W is running Buster OS on 32bit ARM. Flowmeter is connected to PiZero W via GPIO 17 which is an SPI connection. The basic version of the flowmeter code that I am using can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/MattHawkinsUK/rpispy-misc/raw/master/python/hall.py
I would like to emulate this set up with a simulated Flowmeter that is actually sending signals to the Pizero on my home machine: Mac OS X 10.13.6 x86_64. I also have VirtualBox installed, but not sure if that's the best option.
Is this possible? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
