Finally got the serial connection to open up. The problem was being caused by this section in Serial.py:

Code: Select all

        try:
            self._connection = conn = serial.Serial(
                s.port,
                baudrate    = s.baudrate,
                bytesize    = s.bytesize,
                parity      = s.parity,
                stopbits    = s.stopbits,
                timeout     = s.timeout,
                xonxoff     = s.xonxoff,
                rtscts      = s.rtscts,
            )

        except serialutil.SerialException, msg:
            raise comms.interface.CannotconnectException, msg

What I did was take it back to the most simple form of the serial.Serial command and changed it to serial.Serial(0). This worked. I slowly added back in the other operators until it shat itself. Turns out it doesn't like 's.port' for some reason. I hard coded it to be:

Code: Select all

        try:
            self._connection = conn = serial.Serial(
                0,
                baudrate    = s.baudrate,
                bytesize    = s.bytesize,
                parity      = s.parity,
                stopbits    = s.stopbits,
                timeout     = s.timeout,
                xonxoff     = s.xonxoff,
                rtscts      = s.rtscts,
            )

        except serialutil.SerialException, msg:
            raise comms.interface.CannotconnectException, msg

And now it works. I turned on the TA board and packets of data started popping up in the tuner window

Aaron - Any ideas as to why the tuner might be unhappy with the s.port operator? I assume it works fine in linux?

Cheers guys.
