Serial Device Manager

About

Python package made primarily to automate tasks related to configuring serial devices, and uploading them to cloud services.

[!WARNING] Right now it only supports the creation and implementation of configs to Abeeway's Smart Badge, and the ability to upload devices to ThingPark Community.

Configuring window Config creation window

Installation

To install I recommend you use the package installer for Python - pip

  pip install serialmanager

Usages

  serialmgr abeeway config

Run this command to open the GUI related to device configuring.


 serialmgr abeeway upload

Run this command to open the GUI related to building a CSV to upload info about the configured devices to a cloud service, in this case, ThingPark.


 serialmgr abeeway create-cfg

Run this command to open the GUI related to creating a config file. Firmware 2.4-1

Compatibility

Operating Systems

[!NOTE] This doesn't mean another Windows version or Linux Distro isn't going to work, it's just that I haven't tested anywhere else

  • Linux
    • Arch (KDE/XFCE)
  • Windows
    • 11

Devices

  • Abeeway Smart Badge
    • A310
    • U310

Firmware Version

[!NOTE] Other firmware versions work, but since configs values/parameters come and go with each version, the application's behaviour may vary depending on which version you have.

  • Smart Badge U310/A310
    • 2.4.1

Known issues

  • GUI doesn't stall user action when talking to devices properly, making it able to break communication with serial ports by forcing multiple calls to same serial port
    • (as far as I've looked, this doesn't kill the already established communication)
  • Start device command is fairly unstable for reasons unknown at the moment
  • Devices with firmware versions above or below 2.4-1 will report config error due to not having that config parameter

Future goals

  • Change config file to yaml from cfg and add GUI to manipule it
  • Add search bar to create-cfg
  • Automate join process
  • Language selection
  • Support for multiple firmware versions
  • Support for different types of devices
  • Support for flashing the firmware of these devices
