Hello Qiba

This program is the equivalent to the very famous Hello World in programming, but applied to our API. This program gets the firmware version from Qiba's devices and prints it to the screen.

Python3

import serial

ser = serial.Serial() #Create Serial Object

ser.baudrate = 115200 #Set the appropriate BaudRate

ser.timeout = 50 #The maximum timeout that the program waits for a reply. If 0 is used, the pot is blocked until readline returns

ser.port = '/dev/ttyACM0' # Specify the device file descriptor

ser.open() #Open the serial connection

ser.write(b'V\n') #Write the version command "V\n" encoded in Binary

s = ser.readline() # Read the response

print('Version:' + s.decode('ascii')) # Print it on the terminal, note the decoding to ascii.

To execute the program, just copy the code above to a file "helloqiba.py" and run it like shown below.

sudo python3 helloqiba.py

C#

Info

It is necessary to install the System.IO.Ports package to use this example:

[https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.IO.Ports/](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.IO.Ports/)** **

using System.IO.Ports;

public class Program

{

static SerialPort _serialPort;

public static void Main()

{

// Create a new SerialPort object with default settings.

_serialPort = new SerialPort();

StringComparer stringComparer = StringComparer.Ordinal;

// Change the serial port properties:

_serialPort.PortName = "COM5"; //Change port device

_serialPort.BaudRate = 115200;

_serialPort.Parity = Parity.None;

_serialPort.DataBits = 8;

_serialPort.StopBits = StopBits.One;

_serialPort.Handshake = Handshake.None;

// Set the read/write timeouts

_serialPort.ReadTimeout = 500;
