use of pyboard.py tools module with idle3
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2017 3:31 am
Hi,
I am trying to use the tools module pyboard.py with idle3 and it does seem to work but with a couple of weird things going on. See interactive session below:
The first weird thing is that the text output that occurs only occurs after the program has completed running (testing the leds) whereas it should appear first and does so if i run the command "python pyboard.py led.py" from the command line.
The 2nd weird thing is that the error related to failing to access /dev/ttyACM0 only occurs if i havent previously run the program from the command line.
Any ideas.
My reason for doing this is to write a small very simple tkinter GUI that will run a pyboard script from idle.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers.
