Hi there,
I am trying to read a 32 byte array into python and not getting it to work properly I feel I am really close but its just that last little bit where its not working
I am receiving a 32 byte message from a lora transmitter on one board and receiving on another then I want to send the received bytes into python the wireless send & recieve works great but I can't get python to see the serial data correctly.
I am using the USB serial to send the binary data and have a USB to serial adaptor hooked up to serial1 for debugging.
arduino code:
// Feather9x_RX

// with the RH_RF95 class. RH_RF95 class does not provide for addressing or
// reliability, so you should only use RH_RF95 if you do not need the higher
// level messaging abilities.
// It is designed to work with the other example Feather9x_TX

Python code:

ser = serial.Serial('COM14', 115200)
ser.flushInput()
buf = bytearray(32)
while (True):

print("\n")

for c in rx_raw:
mystring = mystring + " " + hex(c)
print("hexed: ")
print(mystring)
print("\n")
see post below for a break down of my packet structure
I am getting what I expect from my debug output on serial1:
Received:
2 0 1 0 2 1 69 A 22 1 7 1 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Received:
2 0 1 0 2 1 6A A 23 1 7 1 36 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
yes I realise that this is the data converted to ascii by serial.print but I would expect my python code to see the same but as binary data as I am using serial.write
running my python code gives me:
raw:
b'\x00\x01\x00\x02\x01\xc3\n"\x01\x07\x01;\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00'
hexed:
0x0 0x1 0x0 0x2 0x1 0xc3 0xa 0x22 0x1 0x7 0x1 0x3b 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x2 0x0
raw:
b'\x01\x00\x02\x01\xc4\n\x1e\x01\x07\x01;\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x01'
hexed:
0x1 0x0 0x2 0x1 0xc4 0xa 0x1e 0x1 0x7 0x1 0x3b 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x2 0x0 0x1
which doesn't entirely match up with what I am expecting namely the first byte should always be 0x2 and the 14th byte onwards should be always zero so something is happening but I have no clue what.
