[Using Serial commands in IronPython Script]

Awesome thank you!

[Using Serial commands in IronPython Script]

In the documentation the last example it opens a serial connection and sends a command.
 

import time
ECig.Track('Last Puff Energy')
motor = Serial.Open('COM10', 9600)
motor.WriteLine('P1: 2047')
time.sleep(1)
ECig['Power Set'] = 20;
ECig.Puff(5)
time.sleep(5)
time.sleep(1)
motor.WriteLine('P1: -2047')
energy = ECig['Last Puff Energy']
ECig.StopTracking('Last Puff Energy')
UI.Message('The last puff energy was {0} milliwatt-hours.'.format(energy))

Using some interspection I find that WriteLine isn't an available command, but Write is. The problem that I am finding with write is that .NET is expecting an Array[Byte], which I do not believe there is a way to convert to in python.

 

motor = Serial.Open('COM4', 9600)

s = u"P=50 W"
b = bytearray()
b.extend(s)

motor.Write( b ,0,6)

The only thing I am trying to do is be able to turn on and off charging on the board. If there is an easy way that works without open a serial port?
