I hope in the next few weeks to begin a blog with an overview of my garage/shop and journal the build process. Next up is learning about JSON, how to use python’s JSON interpreter, and learning enough python to do what I want. I haven’t figured out where this is coming from. When the port is opened by python, it sends the TinyG an x character. It will try to import the current file if you do. I suspect that the port was not free due to prior minicom use. Although there are ways of doing it with manually downloaded packages)īefore I was able to get python-serial to work I had to reboot the Rpi. (Same process to install minicom, you must have network connection to install either of these.
I should add that I’m using the Adafruit version of Raspbian, Occidentalis which has enhanced low-level hardware support.Īfter freeing up the uart as in my above post, install the python-serial routines. Got python on the Rpi talking to the TinyG.
