Hello, I just got a Pi, that what motivated me to learn Python. I am a absolute newbies when it come to python programming, I joint this forum.
I am making an app I have a script to read data to Pi with serial from sensors in Aduino,
It is a very simple script:
I am making an app I have a script to read data to Pi with serial from sensors in Aduino,
It is a very simple script:
import serial, time ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600) while True : data = ser.readline() print str(data) time.sleep(1) ser.close()now besides reading data. the Pi also control the a timed relay relay to turn things on and off, so I made a timer script:
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time #GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setwarnings(False) while True: GPIO.setup(40,GPIO.OUT) print ("LED on") GPIO.output(40,GPIO.HIGH) time.sleep(1) # Insert here? print ("LED off") GPIO.output(40,GPIO.LOW) time.sleep(1) # Insert here? GPIO.cleanup()Now my trouble is (conciliate the two scripts into one) keeping the timer running while reading data concurrently. How does python do that? Do I need to create a a dedicated thread to run them or is there a sinpler way to do it. Thanks.
