serial communications?

Posted by jay on Oct 13, 2007

Has anyone tried to interface Nodebox with a serial port?

This may be trivial but I'm somewhat new to python. I've installed pyserial but nodebox can't seem to find it when I try to "import serial" it says "ImportError: No module named serial"

The module was installed in /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/serial is there something that I need to do to get nodebox to look in this directory?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

jay

Sorry, I spoke too soon. The very next thing I tried worked, which was to just drop the pyserial code into ~/Library/Application Support/NodeBox then call "serial = ximport("serial")"

woohoo, now I can plot GPS data!

That sounds like fun, let us know when you have some visual output we can show on the website.
