Hello all,
Thank you for your answers.
Finally I've managed to make it work, but a strange behavior (at least
for newbies like me) arose. When I use readyRead signal, I can't get
more than a single byte to read.
Finally I've had to do this: Make a sort of loop in reading() function
to read one by one and append to a string. I don't get any results with
readline and friends, I guess because the device I am communicating with
uses \r instead of \n as line end. So read(1) or readAll() do the trick.

Again, thank you very much for your help

And it works. Maybe the problem is related to the fact that my scale
uses just \r (chr 13) as line ending character, so readLine and folks
don't work as expected.

Hello again, and thanks for your answer:
Well I tried what you suggested (I guess) but got no luck. I know that I
am
able to send the data but can't receive anything... seems that readAll
or
read....() don't work at all
I've drop some lines on pastebin

with an tiny application where the problem is shown
I hope someone can put some light on this... Thank you very much
readAll() returns all data that has been read from the device since the
last read. It won't wait for data to arrive because it doesn't know how
much is expected. Use the readyRead() signal.

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to share a digital scale through the network, making it
able
to receive tare/send weight commands.
The scale is connected to a remote computer (a raspberry pi, by the
way)
with a serial converter an the raspi is executing remserial, thus
makin
avalilable the serial port to the network through port 23000.
Because I am making my application with PyQt4, I have chosen to use
QTcpSocket to do the communications between the computers. It is
pretty
easy and I am able to get what i want (sending command and receiving
weights) just by:
soc=QtNetwork.QTcpSocket()
soc.connectToHost('174.33.22.11',23000)
soc.writeData('01ST@')
print soc.readAll()
soc.disconnectFromHost()
And of course I get the weight and I am able to repeat the cycle
connect-poll-receive-disonnect
The problem is whe I put that into a function like:
def captura():
soc=QtNetwork.QTcpSocket(app)
comandoCaptura=chr(6)+'01S@'+chr(13)
soc.connectToHost('172.23.2.25',23000)
soc.writeData(comandoCaptura)
a=soc.readAll()
print a
soc.disconnectFromHost()
return a
Ther is no wai to make it works. I guess is a basic python issue, but
can anyone help?
QTcpSocket is asynchronous, so you need an event loop. After calling
connectToHost() you shouldn't try to read or write until the
connected()
signal has been emitted.
