List of serial ports?

Is there a way to get the indigo.serialPorts list from Python code? I'd like to "mix them in" with a dynamic list produced by my plugin.

If you just want to tell me where you get it from, I can get it from there, too. I just don't want the two to diverge on some hapless user's system.

(Actually, what I really want is a menu for "one of the built-in serial ports or one of those network ports here that I happen to know have serial ports behind them." But I gather we won't get that feature in Indigo 5, no?)

Cheers

Yep, you can use indigo.server.getSerialPorts() like this:

Code: Select all

for posixPath, uiName in indigo.server.getSerialPorts(filter="indigo.ignoreBluetooth").iteritems():
   print(posixPath)
   print(uiName)


And yeah, adding them to a dynamic list control is the way to go for v5.
