pyx2cscope 0.7.1

python implementation of X2Cscope

pyX2Cscope

The pyx2cscope Python package communicates with X2Cscope enabled firmwares running on microcontrollers. Focusing real time control applications like motor control and power conversion.

• It allows user to:
  • Read - Write variables to the embedded target in runtime
  • Record and Plot fast, continuous signals from the target firmware
  • Implement Automated Unit Tests (TDD) and HIL tests for embedded development
  • Record data in run-time for AI models
  • Implement custom user interface, dashboards for embedded applications (QT, Tkinter, Web)

Detailed documentation is hosted at GitHub.io: https://x2cscope.github.io/pyx2cscope/

Install

pyX2Cscope currently supports Python 3.10 to 3.14.

Create a virtual environment and install pyx2cscope using the following commands (Windows):

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install pyx2cscope

Start GUI

To execute Qt version, type:

   pyx2cscope

To execute the Browser based version type:

   pyx2cscope -w

Basic scripting

from pyx2cscope.x2cscope import X2CScope

# Option 1: Default UART with Auto-detect COM port (recommended for single device)
x2c_scope = X2CScope(elf_file="path/to/firmware.elf")

# Option 2: Specify COM port explicitly
# x2c_scope = X2CScope(port="COM8", elf_file="path/to/firmware.elf")

# Or import variables after instantiation
# x2c_scope.import_variables(r"..\..\tests\data\qspin_foc_same54.elf")

# Collect some variables
speed_reference = x2c_scope.get_variable("motor.apiData.velocityReference")
speed_measured = x2c_scope.get_variable("motor.apiData.velocityMeasured")

# Read the value of the "motor.apiData.velocityMeasured" variable from the target
print(speed_measured.get_value())
# Write a new value to the "motor.apiData.velocityReference" variable on the target
speed_reference.set_value(1000)
