How to send command to wifi module over SLIP, serial port?

856 views Asked by At

I have wifi module at home. I would want use it like access point. I have some documents to this module, but i don't understand them very well. I tried to connect over minicom to module - successfully. I could assign AT commands - successfully. But I cannot to find any way how to send the following commands to module from Command Catalogue, for example (from document Wireless LAN SLIP User Guide):

  • UARTMODIFY(115200, 8, 0, 1, 0) - Sets the UART to 115.2kbaud, 8 bit characters, no parity, 1 stop bit and no retention over power on.
  • AUTHENTICATE (1) - switches authentication on.
  • ATTACH(“Ezurio_Network”) – searches for and, if present, attaches to the Ezurio_Network.

Actually I am absolute beginner in this instance :/ Can anybody help me? Thank you very much and sorry for my English.

Here is the link to guide Wireless LAN SLIP User Guide.


EDIT: I send the command over: s.write('SEARCH()'). The error message is following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    s = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=11520)

I recommend you to use a serial interface. I already used Python serial interface and it is pretty simple if you can use python in your case.

Here is an example:

import serial

s = serial.Serial('/Your/Device/File', baudrate=11520) #something like /dev/ttyUSB0
s.bytesize = serial.EIGHTBITS
s.parity = serial.PARITY_NONE
s.stopbits = serial.STOPBITS_ONE

And after doing this you simple have access to it like file descriptors. You can do write or read.

s.write('your command')
s.read('your result')
