Using Python 3, I need to write data 0x00 - 0xff through serial one byte at a time and also want to print on the screen the current byte in Hex where it is in the loop. Now that I've been working on this, it seems like I can just make a simple for loop counting from 0 - 255 and send that.
But, for learning purposes is the way I declared this variable correct?
# Characters to test, all 255 chars
mytest = { '\00', '\01', '\02', '\03', '\04', '\05', '\06', '\07', '\08', '\09', '\0a', '\0b', '\0c', '\0d', '\0e', '\0f', \

'\20', '\21', '\22', '\23', '\24', '\25', '\26', '\27', '\28', '\29', '\2a', '\2b', '\2c', '\2d', '\2e', '\2f', \
'\30', '\31', '\32', '\33', '\34', '\35', '\36', '\37', '\38', '\39', '\3a', '\3b', '\3c', '\3d', '\3e', '\3f', \

for c in mytest:
print (" ".join(hex(ord(n)) for n in c))
serial.write(c) # Let's pretend this sends the same to the serial port I defined somewhere.
Reading posts here, I have come up with the above to print the hex to screen. Which works, sort of.. when I put in one char at a time to test with. However instead of 0x00 it is printing 0x0 I am expecting two 00's well, three I guess 0x00. AND when I run it in the loop, I get all sorts of unexpected output. lol
Test output using single bytes..
0x0 0x1 0x2
Output when running in the for loop...

Let's say the device on the other end of the serial connection is looking for
"0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0xbb"
Questions:
Is there a difference between 0x0 and 0x00 when sending over serial?
I think it is just a representation of the same information. Therefore, 0x00 IS the same as 0x0, or 0x01 and 0x1.
What is wrong with my variable declaration to make the garbage come out when I print in the loop?
I think something like this will accomplish what I want, assuming 0x01 and 0x1 are the same:
for x in range(256)
print (" ".join(hex(ord(n)) for n in x))
serial.write(x)
Thank you.
Well, for one you need to use [ and ] in the variable declaration. In Python, { makes a set, which is unordered. [ makes a list, which is ordered.
Then for the actual content, you need to use \x00, not just \00. So your declaration should be
mytest = [ '\x00', '\x01', '\x02', '\x03', '\x04', '\x05', '\x06', '\x07', '\x08', '\x09', '\x0a', '\x0b', '\x0c', '\x0d', '\x0e', '\x0f', \
'\x10', '\x11', '\x12', '\x13', '\x14', '\x15', '\x16', '\x17', '\x18', '\x19', '\x1a', '\x1b', '\x1c', '\x1d', '\x1e', '\x1f', \
'\x20', '\x21', '\x22', '\x23', '\x24', '\x25', '\x26', '\x27', '\x28', '\x29', '\x2a', '\x2b', '\x2c', '\x2d', '\x2e', '\x2f', \
'\x30', '\x31', '\x32', '\x33', '\x34', '\x35', '\x36', '\x37', '\x38', '\x39', '\x3a', '\x3b', '\x3c', '\x3d', '\x3e', '\x3f', \
'\x40', '\x41', '\x42', '\x43', '\x44', '\x45', '\x46', '\x47', '\x48', '\x49', '\x4a', '\x4b', '\x4c', '\x4d', '\x4e', '\x4f', \
'\x50', '\x51', '\x52', '\x53', '\x54', '\x55', '\x56', '\x57', '\x58', '\x59', '\x5a', '\x5b', '\x5c', '\x5d', '\x5e', '\x5f', \
'\x60', '\x61', '\x62', '\x63', '\x64', '\x65', '\x66', '\x67', '\x68', '\x69', '\x6a', '\x6b', '\x6c', '\x6d', '\x6e', '\x6f', \
'\x70', '\x71', '\x72', '\x73', '\x74', '\x75', '\x76', '\x77', '\x78', '\x79', '\x7a', '\x7b', '\x7c', '\x7d', '\x7e', '\x7f', \
'\x80', '\x81', '\x82', '\x83', '\x84', '\x85', '\x86', '\x87', '\x88', '\x89', '\x8a', '\x8b', '\x8c', '\x8d', '\x8e', '\x8f', \
'\x90', '\x91', '\x92', '\x93', '\x94', '\x95', '\x96', '\x97', '\x98', '\x99', '\x9a', '\x9b', '\x9c', '\x9d', '\x9e', '\x9f', \
'\xa0', '\xa1', '\xa2', '\xa3', '\xa4', '\xa5', '\xa6', '\xa7', '\xa8', '\xa9', '\xaa', '\xab', '\xac', '\xad', '\xae', '\xaf', \
'\xb0', '\xb1', '\xb2', '\xb3', '\xb4', '\xb5', '\xb6', '\xb7', '\xb8', '\xb9', '\xba', '\xbb', '\xbc', '\xbd', '\xbe', '\xbf', \
'\xc0', '\xc1', '\xc2', '\xc3', '\xc4', '\xc5', '\xc6', '\xc7', '\xc8', '\xc9', '\xca', '\xcb', '\xcc', '\xcd', '\xce', '\xcf', \
'\xd0', '\xd1', '\xd2', '\xd3', '\xd4', '\xd5', '\xd6', '\xd7', '\xd8', '\xd9', '\xda', '\xdb', '\xdc', '\xdd', '\xde', '\xdf', \
'\xe0', '\xe1', '\xe2', '\xe3', '\xe4', '\xe5', '\xe6', '\xe7', '\xe8', '\xe9', '\xea', '\xeb', '\xec', '\x1e', '\xee', '\xef', \
'\xf0', '\xf1', '\xf2', '\xf3', '\xf4', '\xf5', '\xf6', '\xf7', '\xf8', '\xf9', '\xfa', '\xfb', '\xfc', '\xfd', '\xfe', '\xff' ]
I'm not sure what the intention was with the line
print (" ".join(hex(ord(n)) for n in c))
If there is only one character in the string c, which there is, you can just do
print(hex(ord(c)))
The code you had looks like it was intended to print every character as hex in a big single string. That's why it had the for n in x.
That's also why the output you were getting before looked so wrong. Notice, on all the lines with multiple value, the first part was 0x5c, which is the ASCII code for \. So it was printing out the hex for \, a, b.
In your simplified loop, it would be as simple as
for x in range(256):
print (hex(x))
serial.write(x)
And as for the equivalence of 0x00 and 0x0, they are the same. The hex function in Python just returns a string that has the number in that notation. They are the same just like how the number 042 is the same as 42 in decimal. Anything you send to the serial won't even look like that. It will just be a number. But depending on the whatever serial library you are using, it probably wants a number not a string like c currently is. So you need to do serial.write(ord(c)) if you want to continue storing data as characters like that.
In fact, in Python you can have numeric literals directly written as hex. So you could say x = 0x32 just fine, which would be converted to 52 when the program is run. Or your whole list could be expressed like
mytest = [0x00, 0x01, 0x02,
etc. Then you wouldn't need any ord at all since everything would already be a number.

I need to perform custom escaping over a byte array in python. However, during escaping python converts bytes to integers, making performance optimization very difficult. How can I speed up my escaping function?
ESCAPE_DICT={
0x00: [0x5C,0x7A], # null -> \z 0x5c 0x7a
0x22: [0x5C,0x71], # " -> \q 0x5c 0x71
0x3B: [0x5C,0x73], # ; -> \s 0x5c 0x73
0x5C: [0x5C,0x5C], # \ -> \\ 0x5c 0x5c
0x0A: [0x5C,0x6E], # line-feed -> \n 0x5c 0x6e
0x0C: [0x5C,0x66], # form-feed -> \f 0x5c 0x66
0x0D: [0x5C,0x63], # carr-return -> \c 0x5c 0x63
}
def escape(string: bytes):
str_len=string.__len__()
escaped_list=[]
for i in range(0,str_len):
curr_byte=string[i]
escape = ESCAPE_DICT.get(curr_byte)
if escape is None:
# Don't escape current byte
escaped_list.append(curr_byte)
else:
# Escape current byte
escaped_list.extend(escape)
return bytes(escaped_array)
import re
ESCAPE_DICT = {
b'\x00': rb'\z', # null
b'"': rb'\q',
b';': rb'\s',
b'\\': rb'\\',
b'\n': rb'\n', # linefeed
b'\f': rb'\f', # formfeed
b'\r': rb'\c', # carriage return
}
ESCAPE_CLASS = '[' + ''.join(r'\x' + e.hex() for e in ESCAPE_DICT) + ']'
ESCAPE_REGEX = re.compile(ESCAPE_CLASS.encode())
def escape(string: bytes) -> bytes:
return re.sub(ESCAPE_REGEX, lambda m: ESCAPE_DICT[m.group(0)], string)
x = b'"abc\ndef\rpqr\x00stu\\xyz"'
y = escape(x)
from pprint import pprint
pprint(ESCAPE_CLASS)
pprint(ESCAPE_REGEX)
pprint(x)
pprint(y)
# =>
# '[\\x00\\x22\\x3b\\x5c\\x0a\\x0c\\x0d]'
# re.compile(b'[\\x00\\x22\\x3b\\x5c\\x0a\\x0c\\x0d]')
# b'"abc\ndef\rpqr\x00stu\\xyz"'
# b'\\qabc\\ndef\\cpqr\\zstu\\\\xyz\\q'
You can read the rb prefix as “raw bytes”.
Your escapes are a bit strange, though. E.g., the carriage return is normally \r, not \c, and \s normally stands for generic whitespace.
I have the following class enum:
class LogLevel(Enum):
level_1 = 0x30
level_2 = 0x31
level_3 = 0x32
level_4 = 0x33
level_5 = 0x34
level_6 = 0x35
level_7 = 0x36
level_8 = 0x37
level_9 = 0x38
I need to iterate from level_5 to level_6.
I tried islice() but haven't had any success
If levels sorted in ascending order then try:
list(LogLevel)[4:6]
which gives:
>> [<LogLevel.level_5: 52>, <LogLevel.level_6: 53>]
If levels are not sorted then try:
levels = ['level_5','level_6']
[i for i in list(LogLevel) if i.name in levels]
which gives
[<LogLevel.level_5: 52>, <LogLevel.level_6: 53>]
>>> [LogLevel(i) for i in range(LogLevel.level_5.value, LogLevel.level_7.value)]
[<LogLevel.level_5: 52>, <LogLevel.level_6: 53>]
You can simplify that by using IntEnum:
>>> [LogLevel(i) for i in range(LogLevel.level_5, LogLevel.level_7)]
[<LogLevel.level_5: 52>, <LogLevel.level_6: 53>]
I am trying to send a command to the command register from my TMF8701 sensor from AMS with Python code from a Raspberry Pi. I have to of these sensors connected to the I2C Bus of the Raspberry Pi. One for channel 1 and one for channel 0. I am writing the 0x10 register with 0x0A and trying to do the factory calibration. But after this command is written, the 0x1E register does not have the correct value. I also tried to write another command, for example 0x0B, but also the 0x1E register does not return the correct value. Can anyone help me?

I'm working on BLE(BlueTooth Low Energy) on an Embedded Linux board. We use BlueZ and Python. I need to create EddyStone Beacon. I found there is a way to create iBeacon: https://scribles.net/creating-ibeacon-using-bluez-example-code-on-raspberry-pi/. I tried it. It worked.
But we need to create EddyStone Beacon. So I use the Beacon data format from here(https://ukbaz.github.io/howto/beacon_scan_cmd_line.html) to create the manufacturer data.
But my code doesn't work. What is wrong with my code? Here is my code:
def __init__(self, bus, index):
eddystone_id = 0xAAFE
beacon_type = [0x14, 0x16] # Length = 0x14, EddyStone type = 0x16
uuid = [0xAA, 0xFE] # EddyStone UUID = 0xAAFE
frame_type = [0x10] # Frame Type = 0x10
power = [0x00] # Power = 0x00
prefix = [0x02] # URL scheme = 0x02 (http://)
url = [0x73, 0x61, 0x6D, 0x70, 0x6C, 0x65, 0x77, 0x65, 0x62, 0x73, 0x69, 0x74, 0x65, 0x07]
Advertisement.__init__(self, bus, index, 'peripheral')
self.add_manufacturer_data(eddystone_id, beacon_type + uuid + frame_type + power + prefix + url)
However, if I use this command, the EddyStone Beacon is created. I can see it shows EddyStone Beacon in nRF mobile app:
sudo hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x08 0x0008 1c 02 01 06 03 03 aa fe 14 16 aa fe 10 00 02 73 61 6d 70 6c 65 77 65 62 73 69 74 65 07 00 00 00
As you can see, the data I put in the add_manufacturer_data() function is the same as the data in the command. But why the Python code doesn't work?
iBeacon uses manufacturer_data while Eddystone beacons use service_data so I would expect your code to look more like this:
def __init__(self, bus, index):
Advertisement.__init__(self, bus, index, 'broadcast')
self.add_service_uuid('FEAA')
frame_type = [0x10] # Eddystone frame Type = 0x10
power = [0x00] # Beacon broadcast power = 0x00
prefix = [0x02] # URL scheme = 0x02 (http://)
url = [0x73, 0x61, 0x6D, 0x70, 0x6C, 0x65, 0x77, 0x65, 0x62, 0x73, 0x69, 0x74, 0x65, 0x07]
eddystone_data = frame_type + power + prefix + url
self.add_service_data('FEAA', eddystone_data)
As a side note, hcitool is one of the tools that has been deprecated by the BlueZ developers. The currently supported way to create the Eddystone beacon from the command line would be with bluetoothctl. The sequence of commands would be:
bluetoothctl
menu advertise
uuids 0xFEAA
service 0xFEAA 0x10 0x00 0x02 0x73 0x61 0x6D 0x70 0x6C 0x65 0x77 0x65 0x62 0x73 0x69 0x74 0x65 0x07
back
advertise broadcast
discoverable on
I changed the advertisement type from peripheral to broadcast because typically people don't want beacons to be connectable, but it depends on your application.
I am new to Stackoverflow. I have searched for answer, but didn't find anything.
I have two Raspberry Pi 2B+, each with nRF24l01 connected. I found few libraries to make this connect, only one give any results, but not connections. This one: Github BLavery
I write script to send and to recv:
send.py:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from lib_nrf24 import NRF24
import time
import spidev
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
pipes = [[0xe7, 0xe7, 0xe7, 0xe7, 0xe7], [0xc2, 0xc2, 0xc2, 0xc2, 0xc2]]
radio = NRF24(GPIO, spidev.SpiDev())
radio.begin(0, 17)
radio.setPayloadSize(32)
radio.setChannel(0x60)
radio.setDataRate(NRF24.BR_2MBPS)
radio.setPALevel(NRF24.PA_MIN)
radio.setAutoAck(True)
radio.enableDynamicPayloads()
radio.enableAckPayload()
radio.openWritingPipe(pipes[1])
radio.printDetails()
while True:
message = list("Hello World")
radio.write(message)
print("We sent the message of {}".format(message))
# Check if it returned a ackPL
if radio.isAckPayloadAvailable():
returnedPL = []
radio.read(returnedPL, radio.getDynamicPayloadSize())
print("Our returned payload was {}".format(returnedPL))
else:
print("No payload received")
time.sleep(1)
recv.py:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from lib_nrf24 import NRF24

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
pipes = [[0xe7, 0xe7, 0xe7, 0xe7, 0xe7], [0xc2, 0xc2, 0xc2, 0xc2, 0xc2]]
radio = NRF24(GPIO, spidev.SpiDev())
radio.begin(0, 17)
radio.setPayloadSize(32)
radio.setChannel(0x60)
radio.setDataRate(NRF24.BR_2MBPS)
radio.setPAlevel(NRF24.PA_MIN)
radio.setAutoAck(True)
radio.enableDynamicPayloads()
radio.enableAckPayload()
radio.openReadingPipe(1, pipes[1])
radio.printDetails()
radio.startListening()
while True:
ackPL = [1]
while not radio.available (0):
time.sleep(1/100)
receivedMessage = []
radio.read(receivedMessage, radio.getDynamicPayloadSize())
print("Received: {}".format(receivedMessage))
print("Translating the receivedMessage into unicode characters...")
string = ""
for n in receivedMessage:
# Decode into standard i=unicode set
if (n >=32 and n <= 126):
string += chr(n)
print(string)
radio.writeAckPayload(1, ackPL, len(ackPL))
print("Loaded payload reply of {}".format(ackPL))

I don't really understand why it won't connect one to other,
Both have the same wiring:
nRF24L01-Raspberry Pi (Pin#)
GND - GND (6)
VCC - 3,3V (1)
CE - GPIO17 (11)
CSN - GPIO08(24)
SCK - GPIO11 (23)
MOSI - GPIO10 (19)
MISO - GPIO25 (22)
IRQ - unconnected
I need to send information from one RPi to second to control engine via PWM.
Can i ask for help
