[Flashforth-devel] ff-shell3.py question

[Mark E. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi sorry..somewhat frustrated at the moment im sure there is something dumb i am doing / not doing but..

I *cannot* get the ff-shell3.py shell working at all .. M1 Mac, python 3.9.0

USB serial on /dev/tty.usbmodem13201

I changed tried running the ff-shell3.py with ‘python3 ff-shell3.py /dev/tty.usbmodem13201’ and get the dreaded “No such file or directory: /dev/tty.usbmodem13201’  even though I can connect to it with screen no issues.

So them I was looking at the code and see its got a serial port object “class Config(object)” and it so i changed default serial port to /dev/tty.usbmodem13201’ in it but still same issue.

hmm…. this should not be so difficult.

so i played with some simple python code inside the repl. just using see = serial.Serial(PORT, BAUD) using same port /dev/tty.usbmodem13201 and then ser.open() and I get “serial port is already open” .. so i do ser.close() first them ser.open() and it works, it sees my serial port just fine.

so why isn’t the ff-shell3.py seeing my serial port ??

TIA
Mark
