Async Serial

This is example code showing you how to do asynchronous serial communication such as ASCII-over-serial, as is common in scientific settings. There is an accompanying article here:

Usage

This code relies on the experimental pyserial-asyncio library, which at this time only supports Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS, etc). As explained in the article, you'll need the tool socat to create virtual serial ports so that you don't need a real device to try out the code.

Install the dependencies

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/zmitchell/async-serial.git

The dependencies are managed with pipenv, the new officially sanctioned packaging tool for Python. Install the dependencies via:

pipenv install

This will create a virtual environment and install the dependencies listed in the Pipfile into it.

Run the code

You run the code in the virtual environment created by pipenv via

pipenv run python3 async_serial_protocol.py

To run one of the other programs, simply replace async_serial_protocol.py with the name of the program.
