I'm doing this to to list the available com ports in windows and unix.
Windows:
def listWindowsPorts():
serial_ports = []
has_ports = False
path = 'HARDWARE\\DEVICEMAP\\SERIALCOMM'
try:
reg = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, path,)
has_ports = True
except WindowsError:
pass
if has_ports:
for i in range(128):
try:
name, value, type = winreg.EnumValue(reg, i)
except WindowsError:
pass
else:
serial_ports.append(value)
return serial_ports
An this for UNIX (Linux-OSX):
def listUnixPorts(system):
serial_ports = []
dev_path = '/dev/'
if('osx' in system):
dev_names = ['tty.*', 'cu.*']
else:
dev_names = ['ttyACM*', 'ttyUSB*']
for dev_name in dev_names:
pattern = dev_path + dev_name
serial_ports += glob.glob(pattern)
return serial_ports
The arduino's IDE, besides displaying the COM ports, it has the ability to show the OTA "ports" automatically after configured. I'll like to know if there is a way to do this in python, so I can show serial ports and OTA ports together.
Can someone give an example or a site with this information?
I've looked in the documentation of the pyserial library but until now I haven't found the "autodiscover" feature
