Unable to find the correct COM port (automatically) #13

Taken from the WLkata forum.

So far the COM port have to be specified as following, so that the Mirobot can be connected and controlled:

portname='/dev/ttySX' With X is number of COM-Port (i.e COM3 => /dev/ttyS3)

Without specifying portname:

Thanks for the report.

I've recently starting testing the library on a Windows machine, will try and see if I can make the current code work on WSL automagically.

rirze commented 4 years ago

Good news, the new autofindport function logic finds available ports automatically on WSL. You shouldn't need to specify portname explicitly in the next release. Gonna close this for now-- feel free to reopen if upgrading your version of the library doesn't work in the near future. (Or feel free to test it out by downloading from the git repository directly)
