Python Control

[ghost]

I am trying to send simple one line commands to TinyG using a python script I am writing. Using PySerial, I can connect and recieve data from the TInyG board but when I try to send data back to the board, I get no response and no action performed. The Rx light flashes when I try to send data using my script but nothing comes of it. I have tried sending my code as json (Ex: {"x":n}, {"x":"n"}, and even $1pm=0) I have also tried to run plain text in the form of gcode commands but I get nothing. Everything being sent is using python's .encode() utility for proper transmission. I suspect there may be some intial parameters I have not set up but there is no mention of them in the wiki that I have found.

I think you can use a serial port monitor to locate the problem. You said that the RX light flash when you try to send data, maybe the baud rate is no correct?

make sure you are sending a \n at the end of the command.

The baudrate is correct but I am not sure if the \n was sent I will try that now

I tried with the \n with the command but it did not work. Is there a way to use the g2core api in python or would I have to code it in Javascript? I don't have any experience in javascript and my python experience is limited as well.

I believe I am running into problems with this section. "The host sends a few command lines to prime the board's serial receive queue, then the host sends a new line each time it receives a response from a processed line. That's it. So if you are building a sender that's all you need to do."

Did you encoded it in bytes ? ex : serial.Serial.write(bytes('{"x":n}', 'ascii'))
