robotserial

robotserial is a library that transmits robot sensor and actuator information through serial ports. It supports USBs as well as any other port that supports serial data transmission. Multiple serial ports may be used at once.

Example

This will print all values from an attached accelerometer for one second:

from robotserial import SerialStateMachineThread
import time

def print_accelerometer(a, b, c):
    print( "accelerometer xyz: [{}, {}, {}]".format(a,b,c))

ssmt = SerialStateMachineThread()
ssmt.start() # accelerometer currently needs to be found before it can be accessed

ssmt.accelerometer.set_callback( print_accelerometer )

time.sleep(1)
ssmt.join()

The corresponding code to send the data from an Arduino is currently:

Serial.write("I");
Serial.write("\na");
Serial.write(aX.bytes, 4);Serial.write(aY.bytes, 4);Serial.write(aZ.bytes, 4);
Serial.write("\ng");
Serial.write(gX.bytes, 4);Serial.write(gY.bytes, 4);Serial.write(gZ.bytes, 4);
Serial.write("\nm");
Serial.write(mX.bytes, 4);Serial.write(mY.bytes, 4);Serial.write(mZ.bytes, 4);
Serial.write("\n");

This will change once a C/C++ library is made for embedded devices.
