This is Python module to communicate with the Sportiduino master station.
To use the Sportiduino master station for card readout:
from sportiduino import Sportiduino
from time import sleep
# Connect to master station, the station is automatically detected.
# If this does not work, give the path to the port as an argument.
sportiduino = Sportiduino()
# Wait for a card to be inserted into the master station
while not sportiduino.poll_card():
sleep(0.5)
# Now card data is set
data = sportiduino.card_data
sportiduino.beep_ok()
print("Card data:", data)
# Card data: {
# 'card_number': 9,
# 'start': datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 5, 15, 48, 43),
# 'finish': datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 5, 15, 55, 55),
# 'punches': [
# (31, datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 5, 15, 50, 23)),
# (32, datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 5, 15, 51, 33)),
# (33, datetime.datetime(2018, 3, 5, 15, 53, 23))
# ],
# 'page6': b'\x00\x00\x00\x00',
# 'page7': b'\x00\x00\x00\x00'
# }
Connect master station and run test script from test directory
python test.py
You can run test with port name. For Linux
python test.py /dev/ttyUSB0
or for Windows
python test.py COM3
