Easy Way to Tell what Expansion Board is in Use ?

[ahaw021]

Is there an easy way to tell which board is in use

for example i can run sys.platform which gives me FiPy etc

What I am thinking

Common Libraries for both

Main.py
PySense.py
PyTrack.py

Main.py figures out which expansion board it is and then instantiates the relevant python file and runs the code

Have to program 14 boards which are a mix of pysense and pytracks and was trying to do it in a lazy way

the hacky way could be to try an I2C address and see if there is a response but if there is a built in method it would be nicer

@livius -- thanks so much

code i used is below

from pycoproc import Pycoproc
expansion_identififer = Pycoproc()
expansion_identififer.read_product_id()

looks like:

Pysense product_id = 61458
Pytrack product_id = 61459

I also inserted the Pysense example code after and it runs with no issues which is what I wanted.
