Usage with a cython wrapper. #20

Closed Roiki11 closed 3 years ago

Roiki11 commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Would it be possible to use a cython wrapper for python for writing user applications? I find c to be a bit hard to use.

The wrapper in question: https://github.com/bnjmnp/pysoem

I think it is possible with some extra works. You may try.

I see. I assume the C api is untouched so the fuction calls should be the same? Or is there something different there compared to normal SOEM?

The difference is the driver for W5500 Ethernet chip, but it lies at very low level that you may not need to touch.

Thanks. I think I'll give it a try when I get the hardware for it.
