Thank you for reading this.
The following code sends "Fred" to my serial connected device without
any problems.
import serial
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0',9600)
ser.write(b'Fred\n')
I'm trying to do the same under pyqt but I'm having trouble converting a
string to a byte array. This works correctly from the pyqt IDE but not
from the console. python3 mycode.py generates "typeError: string
argument without an encoding"
It's very likely that my method of converting a string to a byte array
is incorrect. This is my attempt:
mytext = "Fred"
mybytes = bytes(mytext)
byte = byte + '\n'
ser.write(mybytes)
I don't understand why this works from the pyqt IDE but not when run
from the console. I suppose the IDE is adding the correct encoding. I
suspect utf8 is involved somewhere.
