Robust Arduino Serial is a simple and robust serial communication protocol. It was designed to make two arduinos communicate, but can also be useful when you want a computer (e.g. a Raspberry Pi) to communicate with an Arduino.
It supports both Python 2 and 3.
This repository is part of the Robust Arduino Serial project, main repository: https://github.com/araffin/arduino-robust-serial
Please read the Medium Article to have an overview of this protocol.
Documentation: https://python-arduino-serial.readthedocs.io
Implementations are available in various programming languages:
Using pip:
pip install robust_serial
From Source:
git clone https://github.com/araffin/python-arduino-serial.git
pip install -e .
Run the tests (require pytest):
pytest
Read write in a file (WARNING: the file will be deleted when the script exits)
python -m examples.file_read_write -f test.txt
Serial communication with an Arduino: Arduino Source Code
python -m examples.arduino_serial
It can be useful when you want two programs to communicate over a network (e.g. using wifi) or even locally on the same computer (e.g. when you want a python2 script that communicates with a python3 script).
- Start the server:
python -m examples.socket_example --server
- Run the client:
python -m examples.socket_example --client
Dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev bluez
pip install pybluez
You need to change the server mac address SERVER_ADDR, you can use hciconfig to know the mac address of your computer.
Server:
python -m examples.bluetooth_example --server
Client:
python -m examples.bluetooth_example --client
