I think I still am doing something wrong. In the example below it seems that the M5 isn't reacting to the commands. Do I have to scan a QR code from the manual first to get it into the proper state?
Example 1:
import serial
import time
wakeup_cmd = bytes([0x00])
host_mode_cmd = bytes([0x07, 0xC6, 0x04, 0x08, 0x00, 0x8A, 0x08, 0xFE, 0x95])
start_scan_cmd = bytes([0x04, 0xE4, 0x04, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x14])
stop_scan_cmd = bytes([0x04, 0xE5, 0x04, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x13])
print('Open serial port')
ser = serial.Serial('COM4', 9600, timeout=1) # Adjust the port name and baud rate as needed
try:
print('Wake up!')
ser.write(wakeup_cmd)
time.sleep(0.05)
print('Host mode')
ser.write(host_mode_cmd)
time.sleep(0.5)
print('Start scan')
ser.write(start_scan_cmd)
time.sleep(3)
print('Stop scan')
ser.write(stop_scan_cmd)
time.sleep(1)
print('Bytes waiting at serial port: ' + str(ser.in_waiting))
response = ser.read(ser.in_waiting)
print("Received:", response.decode())
except Exception as e:
print("Error communicating with serial device: ", e)
finally:
print("Close serial port")
ser.close()
The output:
Open serial port
Wake up!
Host mode
Start scan
Stop scan
Bytes waiting at serial port: 0
Received:
Close serial port
Doing something simpler doesn't work either:
Example 2:
software_version_cmd = bytes([0x04, 0xA3, 0x04, 0x00, 0xFF, 0x55])
print('Open serial port')
ser = serial.Serial('COM4', 9600, timeout=1) # Adjust the port name and baud rate as needed
try:
print('Wake up!')
ser.write(wakeup_cmd)
time.sleep(0.05)
print('Check software version')
ser.write(software_version_cmd)
time.sleep(1)
print('Bytes waiting at serial port: ' + str(ser.in_waiting))
response = ser.read(ser.in_waiting)
print("Received:", response.decode())
except Exception as e:
print("Error communicating with serial device: ", e)
finally:
print("Close serial port")
ser.close()
The output:
Open serial port
Wake up!
Check software version
Bytes waiting at serial port: 0
Received:
Close serial port
