I think so, what I'm doing is opening a text file,
reading line 1 and writing that text to the serial
port. Then read line 2 and so on... So it mimics a
string rather than a list or dictionary. But I would
think this would give you a similiar result. I can try
it to confirm.
Here is the entire code:
import serial
import string
import time
parmfile = open('command_1.txt')
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS1', 9600, timeout=1)
ser.setRTS(1)
ser.setDTR(1)
i = 0
while i == 0:
line = parmfile.readline()
line = string.rstrip(line)
#print line
if line == "":
i = 1
break
else:
ser.write(line + "\r")
#ser.write("\r\n")
print "Sending: " + line
time.sleep(1)
data_in = ser.read(100)
print "Response: " + data_in
time.sleep(.2)
print "Closing Serial Port\n"
ser.close()
The 'command_1.txt' file is literally a text file with
lines of text like such:
command1 on
command2 off
command3 %4
command5 on
etc....
