I have a Pico Microcontroller that is connected to a stepper motor driver, and I just want to rotate the motor on command.
My code is able to do that when it is connected to a Mac system, but whenever I am connecting that to a Linux system (Ubuntu 22), the write function throws this error, and the motor rotates only a bit.
serial.serialutil.SerialTimeoutException: Write timeout
Let me share the values that my connection object have
Serial<id=0x7f9557bd81c0, open=True>(port='/dev/ttyACM1', baudrate=9600, bytesize=8, parity='N', stopbits=1, timeout=10.0, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False)
Command that I am using to write: 'motor.onestep(direction=stepper.BACKWARD, style=stepper.DOUBLE) \x0c'
Here is the code from the library which is throwing the code:
def write(self, data):
"""Output the given byte string over the serial port."""
if not self.is_open:
raise PortNotOpenError()
d = to_bytes(data)
tx_len = length = len(d)
timeout = Timeout(self._write_timeout)
while tx_len > 0:
try:
n = os.write(self.fd, d)
if timeout.is_non_blocking:
# Zero timeout indicates non-blocking - simply return the
# number of bytes of data actually written
return n
elif not timeout.is_infinite:
# when timeout is set, use select to wait for being ready
# with the time left as timeout
if timeout.expired():
raise SerialTimeoutException('Write timeout')
abort, ready, _ = select.select([self.pipe_abort_write_r], [self.fd], [], timeout.time_left())
if abort:
os.read(self.pipe_abort_write_r, 1000)
break
if not ready:
===>This Line raise SerialTimeoutException('Write timeout')
else:
assert timeout.time_left() is None
# wait for write operation
abort, ready, _ = select.select([self.pipe_abort_write_r], [self.fd], [], None)
if abort:
os.read(self.pipe_abort_write_r, 1)
break
if not ready:
raise SerialException('write failed (select)')
d = d[n:]
tx_len -= n
except SerialException:
raise
