Can someone help me with python?
The problem for me is that the tool tos-bsl is written in python, which is
one I cannot use, but I need to add a change in a script. The tool accepts
comport as number in win/cygwin, starting from 0 which is COM1. I wish to
avoid using numbers and instead use comport name. I.e. to start tos-bsl win
option "-c COM17" instead of using "-c 16". This will allow me to focus on
coding, and will remove the overhead of debugging motes that are
incidentally programmed with different code. I read through source of
tos-bsl.in file . The interesting part is between lines 1357 to 1359, where
the option is accepted:
Elif o in ("-c", "--comport"):
Try:
ComPort = int(a) #try to convert decimal
Except ValueError:
ComPort = a #take the string and let
serial driver decide
So if a string is used it is directly assigned to ComPort and later is used,
which works on Linux, but if it is COMx cannot be used. I wish to add a
check before assignment something like this:
Elif o in ("-c", "--comport"):
Try:
ComPort = int(a) #try to convert decimal
Except ValueError:
if a[0:2] == "COM": #check for leading
COM" word
ComPort = int(a[3:],10) - 1 #calculate the base, like
if it is given from command line
Else: #or continue
as up to now
ComPort = a #take the string and
let serial driver decide
So I have two problems
1. I don't know if the code which I add is correct - link to any
help/tutorial about python is appreciated.
2. I don't know how to produce tos-bsl.exe and put it in /usr/bin.
Thank you in advance.
