Problem sending Bytes with pySerial and socat
I want to send some bytes via pySerial. I created virtual serial ports with socat for testing purposes:
socat PTY,link=./ptyp1,b9600 PTY,link=./ptyp2,b9600
Here's the python code:
ser = serial.Serial('./ptyp1')
x = struct.pack('B',2)
print binascii.hexlify(x) # 02
ser.write(x)
y = ser.read(2)
print binascii.hexlify(y) # 5e42
The ouput I get开发者_StackOverflow社区:
02 # x
5e42 # y
The output I expect:
02 # x
02 # y
What am I doing wrong here? Is it socat or python?
Edit:
I just noticed some other strange behavior for different x values. Here the ouput:
x = 12 => y = 5E 52 0D 0A 5E 50
x = 100 => y = 100 # why does it work here?
Solution:
The problem was that I read on the same port I wrote to. If I get it right socat "connects" the two ports as "in" and "out". So I have to read on ./ptyp2 if I write to ./ptyp1. After that, everything is fine.

I have installed socat to test your code. I have run this line :
socat PTY,link=./ptyp1,b9600 PTY,link=./ptyp2,b9600
Then, the following code works :
from binascii import hexlify
from serial import Serial, struct
ser = Serial('ptyp1')
x = struct.pack('B', 2)
print hexlify(x) # 02
ser.write(x)
y = ser.read()
print hexlify(y) # 5E
y = ser.read()
print hexlify(y) # 42
Ouput :
02
5e
42
What you seem to be getting back is the string "^B". It's possible that socat
(or something else along the way) is interpreting the byte you're sending (\x02
) as a control code of some sort.
Off the top of my head, Ctrl-B
is the page-back mnemonic, but I'm not sure.
