UART
— UART communications interface¶
UART functionality of a BeagleBone using Python. Generally used to set up and grant access to a given UART device, which will then be accessed by other software or modules (e.g. pyserial):
sudo pip install pyserial
Example:
import Adafruit_BBIO.UART as UART
import serial
UART.setup("UART1")
ser = serial.Serial(port = "/dev/ttyO1", baudrate=9600)
ser.close()
ser.open()
if ser.isOpen():
print "Serial is open!"
ser.write("Hello World!")
ser.close()
-
Adafruit_BBIO.UART.
setup_uart
(channel)¶ Set up and start the UART channel. This function will effectively export the given UART so that it can be accessed by other software that controls its serial lines.
Parameters: channel (str) – UART channel to set up. One of “UART1”, “UART2”, “UART4” or “UART5”
-
Adafruit_BBIO.UART.
cleanup
()¶ Cleans up the UART.
