MFD SERIAL

Tool for communication via serial port (e.g UART).

Usage

Open serial connection put serial port and baud rate:
port can be e.g. COM1 if windows or /dev/ttyUSB0 if linux

serial = SerialConnection(serial_port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baud=115200)  

Read data from serial:

serial.read()

Send text msg via serial port

serial.send('Text to send')

Read until some expression appear:

serial.read_until('Module Error') 

Close serial connection:

serial.close()  

Read in background (e.g. if we want to run tests and log everything what happen on serial port during the test)

serial.read_in_background()  
(... test steps ...)  
serial_log = serial.get_result()  #get_result will automatically close the connection

SerialConnection can be used as context manager:

with SerialConnection(serial_port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baud=115200) as serial:  
	log = serial.read()
