Ok, I am a noob in Python and am coming from c++, but I could not find any way to use the pty library https://docs.python.org/3/library/pty.html in such a way, that minicom could read the output on a second terminal instance. I really would love to get above this hurdle. Thank you for your help. I ...

Since I did not get any response to my thread "Seeking for the best way to interface with another app over serial" let me try again, reformulating my question in a hopefully easier way: Ok, I am a noob in Python and am coming from c++, but I could not find any way to use the pty library https://docs...

Thanks, Laszlo and Matt! I am looking for an off-the-shelf hardware button so I may give the Bluetooth remote a try first, I guess. I wonder if there may be a ready-made button product for the WEMOS D1 as well? The Wemos is an astonishing powerful device, for your need it seems overkill, albeit the...

Hi, I am currently seeking for the best way to interface with another app over serial. The other app is a blackbox that expects to get every second an incoming byte from a parametrable "serial connection" (e.g. /dev/ttyS0) At the beginning we get an initial short handshake with a control byte sent f...

Thank you. That worked flawlessly. ... dB = (ret[0] + ((ret[1] & 3) * 256)) / 10 + 30 print (dB) ... You are still running the risk of problems from multiple rounding here. To avoid this rather than adding 30 after division you should add 300 before devision. OK, thank you, I will change that as we...

Going by the 3.5 notes: chr(i) Return the string representing a character whose Unicode code point is the integer i. For example, chr(97) returns the string 'a', while chr(8364) returns the string '€'. This is the inverse of ord(). The valid range for the argument is from 0 through 1,114,111 (0x10F...

maybe
ser.write(AK.to_bytes(1,byteorder='big'))

That works!
Thank you so much.

rin67630

Could you use the chr() function in Python? This returns a Unicode character but for the range you are using I think you only get a single character. Yes, thanks. I tried, but got an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "devdB.py", line 46, in <module> update() File "devdB.py", line 40, i...

I am currently struggling with the correct way to format a variable that should be passed to the Serial library in order to be issued as a single character. Here is my python3 code excerpt: import os, pty, serial import tkinter import sys import usb.core import sched, time from decimal import * from...

... 3. Use division by 10 instead of multiplication by 0.1 and rearrange the calculation so that the devision is the last step of your calculation meaning things are only rounded once. I don't like this option because it's rather fragile, a seemingly innocuous change to the calculation could break ...

I am not familiar with this decimal module, but possibly using decimal.Decimal(...) instead of decimal(...) could avoid the problem.

That syntax solved the error, but the results got worse. Now 2/3 of all values have plenty of decimals.

rin67630

It's not the math, but the fact that floating point values are represented in binary. So some values will be different than if they were represented in decimal. You can control how floating point numbers are printed using Python's format operations. For example, to display only one decimal place, y...

Hi, I have got a strange behaviour. Sometimes the math of Python3 returns a weird value, that displays badly in tkinter. #!/usr/bin/python3 # dB Meter software for Wensn # by Mikael Bendiksen (c) 2015 import os, pty, serial import decimal import tkinter import sys import usb.core import sched, time ...

You appear to be attempting to run a python 2 script with Python 3. The hint is the first line #!/usr/bin/python is for python 2. To run the the scritpt as python 2 use python python script_name I tried to run using python as well. I got the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "dB_App.py...

Ok, I'm a noob. I am currently trying to run a Python application that I got from Github on my Raspi 3 : https://github.com/unk1nd/dBSoftwarePy_Linux It is supposed to be an interface to an USB sound pressure level meter, written for Ubuntu. The app is scarcely documented. So I extracted dB_App.py t...

Also...when a Pi boots, the VC4 boots first. If the VC4 was destroyed by the lightning strike it wouldn't boot at all. A number of things come to mind... I can't guarantee the causality with the stroke. I just checked my devices after it. The defect could have happened a few days before... With VC4...

I have a bench of Raspis, that I use to use headless over VNC. Yesterday, we had a lightning stroke in the vicinity and one of the Raspis stopped responding to VNC calls. It continued however to send FTP messages. So I dismanteled it and checked it on my workbench. Upon booting, the activity light f...

Hi folks,
I am looking after a lean image processing on the raspi. It should only resize pictures and be able to bring some text into the image.
Who can recommend such a no frills program, that runs well and fast on weak Rpi Zeros?

Yup, the SPI pins + power + reset.

SPI is already used.

There's always the ICSP connector.

Really? on a Pro Mini?

There may not be anything better, but the chances of this working in 2019 based on how shaky Raspberry Pi GPIO was in 2012 is slim.

Hmm... It actually works.

rin67630

forgive me if i am missing something here but looking at the op's solution link the 'business' is just def reset(): pin = 11 GPIO.setup(pin, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output(pin, GPIO.HIGH) time.sleep(0.12) GPIO.output(pin, GPIO.LOW) Not something you need an outdated framework to implement perhaps? You are r...

An easier solution might be to use a USB-TTL adapter with a DTR line. That is precisely what I do NOT want to do. The USB-TTL adapter and the whole USB frills are way too bulky and unconvenient. Connecting a 3,3V Arduino to a 3,3V GPIO is the natural way of interconnecting two devices. You can put ...
