Grabbing a value from one python script into another

[nickayres]

That's great and works a treat but the revsPC data is generated from a value inside a UDP packet where the connection is established at the start of the script and the the revsPC variable is inside a loop. I know my syntax is not great or neat but it does do the basic job of determining my revsPC value.

import sys
import socket
import time

UDP_IP = ""
UDP_PORT1 = 40002
sock1 = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock1.bind((UDP_IP, UDP_PORT1))

#definition of the function for mapping a range values to another
def translate(value, inputMin, inputMax, outputMin, outputMax):
    
	# Figure out how 'wide' each range is
	inputSpan = inputMax - inputMin
	outputSpan = outputMax - outputMin

	# Convert the input range into a 0-1 range (float)
	valueScaled = float(value - inputMin) / float(inputSpan)

	# Convert the 0-1 range into a value in the output range.	
	return outputMin + (valueScaled * outputSpan)

counter = 0
while True:

	#Beginning of the program
	tmps1=time.time()

	data, addr = sock1.recvfrom(1024) # length of the buffer : 1024 bytes
	hiValRPM = data1[0]
	loValRPM = data1[1]

	print("--------------------------")
	print("Data Received : " + str(hiValRPM) + "/" + str(loValRPM))
	print(" ")

	#Revs : Mapping from 0-1023 to 0-6000
	if(hiValRPM == 0):
		revsPC = translate(loValRPM, 0, 255, 0, 1503)
	elif(hiValRPM == 1):
		revsPC = translate(loValRPM, 0, 255, 1504, 3004)
	elif(hiValRPM == 2):
		revsPC = translate(loValRPM, 0, 255, 3005, 4503)
	elif(hiValRPM == 3):
		revsPC = translate(loValRPM, 0, 255, 4504, 6000)

	print("Revs = " + str(int(revsPC)))

	#Calculation of the program execution time
	tmps2=(time.time()-tmps1)*1000
	print ("Execution time = %f ms" %tmps2)

	counter += 1
	
	print("Packet number : " + str(counter))
