Implementation detail: some attributes and functions are provided by theclass serial.SerialBase which inherits from io.RawIOBaseand some by the platform specific class and others by the base classmentioned above.
Basically, it implements everything needed for the RFC 2217 protocol.It just does not open sockets and read/write to serial ports (though itchanges other port settings). The user of this class must take care of thedata transmission itself. The reason for that is, that this way, this classsupports all programming models such as threads and select.
The serial_port can be controlled by RFC 2217 commands. Thisobject will modify the port settings (baud rate etc.) and control lines(RTS/DTR) send BREAK etc. when the corresponding commands are found bythe filter() method.
The actual reader loop driven by the thread. It callsProtocol.connection_made(), reads from the serial port callingProtocol.data_received() and finally calls Protocol.connection_lost()when close() is called or an error occurs.
Once again, serial has nothing to do with serial buses. It does not coexist well with pyserial because they share the same import name. Do not install both in the same environment. Doing so is likely the cause of the weird errors you saw earlier.
Serial ports are serial communication interfaces through which information is transferred sequentially one bit at a time. Parallel ports, on the other hand, transmit multiple bits simultaneously. The PySerial and functions like python serial read make communication with Serial Ports easier.
NOTE: I will be using a DHT11 temperature sensor to produce data on the Arduino end. Since this is a tutorial on reading data from the serial port using Python, not Arduino, I recommend visiting a DHT11 tutorial to learn how to print temperature data from the sensor to the serial port (see here, or here).
Now we have a working datalogger! This is as simple as it gets, and it's remarkably powerful. The three lines that start as: '' with open(\"test_data.csv\",\"a\") as f: '' look for a file called 'test_data.csv' and create it if it doesn't exist. The \"a\" in parentheses tells Python to append the serial port data and ensure that no data is erased in the existing file. This is a grand result because it not only takes care of saving the data to the .csv file, but it creates one for us and prevents overwriting and (most times) corruption. How considerate!
NOTES: while I was using Raspberry Pi, I came across an issue between reading the serial port, saving to .csv, and updating the plots. I found that updating the plot occupied a lot of processing time, which resulted in slower reading of the serial port. Therefore, I advise anyone who is using the method below to assess whether you are reading all the bytes that are being outputted by the Arduino. I found that I was missing bytes or they were getting backed up in the queue in the buffer. Do some tests to verify the speed of your loop. This will prevent lost bytes and dropouts of data. I found that my loop took roughly half a second to complete, which means that my serial port should not be outputting more than 2 points per second. I actually used 0.8 seconds as the time between data records and it appeared to catch all data points. The slow loop is a result of the plotting, so once you comment out all of the plot code, you will get a much higher data rate and .csv save rate (just as above).
The conda create command builds the new virtual environment. The --name arduino flag gives our new virtual environment the name arduino. I like to name my virtual environments the same name as the project that uses the virtual environment. Including python=3.7 ensures the new virtual environment has an up to date version of Python.
To communicate with the Arduino using Python, we need to install the PySerial package. You can install the PySerial package at the Anaconda Prompt using the command conda install pyserial. Note the (arduino) virtual environment should be active when you run the conda install command.
To confirm PySerial is installed, open the Python REPL while the (arduio) virtual environment is active. At the >>> REPL prompt, import PySerial with the command import serial. Note that although we installed PySerial with the command conda install pyserial, we import PySerial using the line import serial. The command exit() exits out of the Python REPL and brings us back to the Anaconda Prompt.
You can use the Windows Device Manager to determine which serial port the Arduino is connected to. On my Windows 10 laptop, the port the Arduino is connected to usually comes up as COM4. You can find the serial port by looking in the Ports (COM & LPT) category of the Windows Device Manager. Look for something like USB Serial Port (COM4) in the Ports (COM & LPT) menu. It is the COM# that you are looking for.
You should see the Arduino LED turn on and off when you type the commands ser.write(b'H') and ser.write(b'L'). These commands send the characters H and L over the serial line to the Arduino. The Arduino reads these characters and turns the LED on and off. Make sure you run the ser.close() command at the end. If the serial line is not closed, you may have trouble opening the serial line again and running these same commands a second time.
Now that the Arduino LED turns on and off based on sending H and L with the Python REPL, let's write a Python script to turn the LED on and off. Again, the serial communication between the Python script and the Arduino is facilitated by the PySerial package. Ensure PySerial is installed before running the Python script.
Open a new script called arduino_blink.py. At the top of the Python script, import the PySerial package. Note that even though the package is called PySerial, the line import serial is used. Python's built-in time module is also imported as the time.sleep() function will be used in the script. Include the following code in arduino_blink.py:
Create a new file called arduino_LED_user.py. At the top of the arduino_LED_user.py script, import the PySerial package and built-in time module. Then define the serial port. Make sure to include the correct 'COM#'. Use the 'COM#' you found in the Windows Device Manager. If the 'COM#' is not set correctly, the script will not run. Include the code below in arduino_LED_user.py:
You will need to change the line that sets port_name in order to specify the correct serial port. The correct serial port name to use depends on your operating system and what type of serial port or USB-to-serial adapter you are using between the Tic and your computer. The baud rate you select in the code should match the baud rate specified in the serial settings in the Tic Control Center.
I am working on very similar live-printing figures, in my case for acceleration sensor data plotting. In the code I developed i was constantly getting the same output, python stops to work. I saw your publication and aapted mine to your approch(I think is better solved) but i still get the same output the figure is a blank and python crashes. Any idea why this could be happening may be because of a too high baud rate
Hi, I recently wrote a generic application for this called python-datamonitor( -datamon). The datamonitor can create multiple subplots at the same time, every subplot can have multiple data. It supports plotting csv-data or live-data piped into the application. Configuration is via a simple json-file, so no programming is necessary.
Thanks so much for your tutorial. It was very helpful for getting started with graphing serial data.I was tryng to plot the tilt angle of an Arduino, and found that after some time my graph was lagging from the real angle.
I think the problem was with the animate function reading the serial data, which gets the buffer accumulated after some time.I was able to solve it by reading the data in an independent thread. Hopefully can also help other people.
The serial baud rate for MagnaLOAD products is 115200, while the serial baud rate for MagnaDC products is 19200. The port location is defined by your operating system. In Windows, this port can be found in the Device Manager.
The following example creates a serial connection to the product, determines what product it is, and then sends a sequence of current commands with 20 seconds between each current level. This type of program can be expanded to cycle through voltage, power, and resistance values as well.
First you have ton install Python on your computer. This is just typical install with no big deal. When you have installed Python you may want to restart your computer. If you are not sure if your install was succesfull you can open your command prompt and type python or go to location where you installed python and run Python.exe. If everything works correctly your command prompt should look something like this:
PySerial is a Python package that facilitates serial communication. A computer running Python with the PySerial package installed can communicate with external hardware. PySerial is a useful package for problem solvers because it allows us to exchange data between computers and pieces of external hardware such as voltmeters, oscilloscopes, strain gauges, flow meters, actuators, and lights.
PySerial provides an interface to communicate over the serial communication protocol. Serial communication is one of the oldest computer communication protocols. Serial communication protocol predates the USB specification used by computers and other pieces of hardware like mice, keyboards, and webcams. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. USB and is built upon and extends the original serial communication interface. 153554b96e
