Using Pythonscript with eg.result and Read Serial Port...

[sjolof]

Please help me to solve my problem.

I´m sending "!" to serial port, no problem with that, but I need to check if I get the same character "!" in return before I can send my string.

I want to send "!" maximum 5 times (100msec in between).
If I get "!" in return in less then 5 tries then I could use "Jump" - (If last action successful) and send rest of my string.

But how can I check that I get "!" in return? (read serial port - python script ?) and how to limit to maximum 5 tries?

I would be really happy in someone could help me out!!!

Untested:

Code: Select all

Serial = eg.plugins.Serial

for i in range(5):
    Serial.Write("!")
    # read one byte with 0.1 sec timeout
    answer = Serial.Read(1, 0.1) 
    if answer == "!":
        eg.result = True
        eg.Exit()
eg.result = False
