Python Library for Epson Sensing System Devices


This a general python library for evaluating the Epson Sensing System devices and building evaluation software in a Python 3.x environment using the UART interface.

This package consists of two main parts:

  • SensorDevice main class is composed of 5 subclasses UartPort, RegInterface, and one of the following AcclFn, ImuFn, or VibFn depending on the type of device
    • Primary purpose is to communicate and control the sensing device
    • Provide low-level functions to read/write registers
    • Provide functions to perform self-tests, software reset, flash-related functions
    • Provide functions to configure the device, and enter CONFIG/SAMPLING mode
    • Provide functions to read a burst sample when in SAMPLING mode
    • Expose properties to read various statuses and device model information
    • For more detailed information on using the SensorDevice class refer to the README.md in the src/esensorlib/ folder
  • A example logger comes in 3 variants based on the sensing device types: accl_logger.py, imu_logger.py, vibe_logger.py
    • It is intended as evaluation software and as a reference on how to use the SensorDevice class to control and read sensor data
    • It uses the LoggerHelper class for parsing and formatting sensor device status and sensor data
    • It is a command line driven application for configuring the device and logging the sensor output using arguments:
      • Serial port setting such as port name, baudrate
      • Time duration for collecting sensor data
      • Device configuration settings i.e. output rate, filter setting, model, etc
      • Flash operations
      • Output to console or CSV file
      • Some settings are unique to the specific device type

Test Machines

  • Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Intel Core i5-6500 @ 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM
  • Ubuntu Mate 22.04.3 LTS, RaspberryPi 4, 1.8 GB RAM
  • Ubuntu Mate 20.04.6 LTS, Intel Core i7 @ 2.0 GHz, 8GB RAM

Requirements

  • Python 3.7+
  • Python packages (can be installed using pypi):
  • Epson sensing device connected to the host UART interface i.e. WIN/PC, Linux/PC or any embedded Linux system with serial port
    • M-G320PDG0, M-G354PDH0, M-G364PDC0, M-G364PDCA
    • M-G365PDC1, M-G365PDF1, M-G370PDF1, M-G370PDS0
    • M-G330PDG0, M-G366PDG0, M-G370PDG0, M-G370PDT0
    • M-G570PR20
    • M-A352AD10, M-A342VD10
  • Epson evaluation board
  • Alternatively, a direct connection to host digital UART port (NOTE: 3.3V CMOS I/O signaling) using an adapter such as:

Precautionary Notes

For WIN/PC Only:

  • Before running the logger using the Epson IMU USB evaluation board (or equivalent FTDI USB-UART bridge IC) on a WIN/PC host, please set the Window's BM Options -> Latency Timer to 1msec
  • This is especially necessary for sampling rates faster than 125sps
  • By default the BM latency timer is set to 16ms, which may cause the serial handling on the PC to be sluggish and drop bytes during transmission
  • Change the serial port BM latency timer to 1msec in Windows 10, go to:
    • Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) -> USB Serial Port (COMx) -> Properties -> Port Settings -> Advanced -> BM Options -> Latency Timer (msec) -> set to 1

For all systems:

  • Mount the Epson device to the USB Evalboard (or equivalent)
  • Connect the USB Evalboard to the PC via USB cable
  • Make sure both the host and device are unpowered when connecting the Epson device directly to a host UART interface

Installation


  • The conventional method to install this package is to use pip
  • Read more about installing python packages
  • As an example, this package is installed from PyPi using the following command:
python3 -m pip install esensorlib
  • Alternatively, if you downloaded the package to install from local hard drive, use the following command:

For tar.gz file:

python3 -m pip install <path to file>/esensorlib-x.x.x.tar.gz

For whl file:

python3 -m pip install <path to file>/esensorlib-x.x.x-py3-none-any.whl

Logger Usage


  • There is a logger programs for each of the 3 device types
    • imu_logger.py for IMU devices
    • accl_logger.py for ACCL devices
    • vibe_logger.py for VIBE devices
  • Each logger script have different features and configuration options specific to the device type
  • When the esensorlib is installed using pip, the logger can be launched from python using the -m command from the console
    • python3 -m esensorlib.example.imu_logger
    • python3 -m esensorlib.example.accl_logger
    • python3 -m esensorlib.example.vibe_logger

NOTE: Use the -h switch for the help menu to see a description of logger settings

Reading Sensor Data

IMU Sensor Data

Open a command prompt and run imu_logger.py with the appropriate command line switches:

  1. Select COM port with -s switch (i.e., -s com6)
  2. Select IMU model --model switch (i.e., --model g366pdg0) or let the software auto-detect by not specifying this switch
  3. Select the desired output rate with the --drate switch (i.e., --drate 200 for 200Hz)
  4. Select the desired filter setting with the --filter switch (i.e., --filter k32_fc50) or let the software choose a valid moving average filter by not specifying this switch
  5. Select the desired time duration in seconds with the --secs switch (i.e., --secs 60) or number of samples with the --samples switch (i.e., --samples 100)
  6. Select if the sensor data is written to a CSV file with the --csv switch or to the console by not specifying this switch
  7. Append other switches to include more fields in the sensor data as desired. Use the -h for help description of switches

NOTE: Add the --csv switch to send the sensor data to a CSV files instead of the output console

python3 -m esensorlib.example.imu_logger -s com7 --drate 200 --filter k32_fc50 --samples 100

Configuring Device for AUTO_START and Flash Update

Configuring a device for AUTO_START is a two stage process. Run the xxxx_logger.py that matches your connected device to first configure the desired device settings and with --auto_start. Then, run the xxxx_logger.py again with the --flash_update switch to store the settings to non-volatile memory of the device.

AUTO_START Mode

AUTO_START mode is intended for the UART interface only so that the device will automatically retrieve user-programmed settings from device flash after power-on or reset and automatically enter SAMPLING mode to start sending sensor data.

NOTE: Be sure to run the xxxx_logger.py that matches the connected device type.

For example, below is an example for an IMU using imu_logger.py:

  1. Select COM port with -s switch (i.e., -s com7)
  2. Select the correct model with --model switch or do not specify the switch to let the software auto-detect
  3. Select the desired output rate with the --drate switch (i.e., --drate 100 for 100Hz)
  4. Select the desired filter setting --filter switch (i.e., --filter K128_FC25)
  5. Select --autostart switch
  6. Select other output field options as desired such as --ndflags --tempc --counter sample --chksm
  7. Press CTRL-C to exit early or let the logger complete and finish its operation
python -m esensorlib.example.imu_logger -s com7 --drate 100 --filter mv_avg128 --autostart --ndflags --tempc --counter sample --chksm
