Raspberry PI to Arduino serial port

Much has been written regarding the Raspberry PI to Arduino Serial Port com's, so i thought I would add my own helpful basic info. I will over time improve the data, but for now, view the below info windows:-

Refer to the website for the "unicode" decoding and encoding.

URL unicode character set

https://pypi.org/project/Unidecode/

Programming Raspberry PI with Unicode character decoding

See PEP 261 for details regarding support for “wide” Unicode characters in Python.

Installation

To install the latest version of Unidecode from the Python package index, use these commands:

$ pip install unidecode

Arduino sending

void setup()

{

// initialize serial:

Serial.begin(57600);

}

void loop()

{

Serial.println("gw0aju : --> 'gw4rva, g4wrd, gw0hyl' hi chaps, how are things k Σ ");

delay(500);

}

The Raspberry PI code is:-

Raspberry PI Rx code

import unicodedata

import serial

ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 57600)

while 1:

if(ser.in_waiting >0):

line = str(ser.readline().decode("utf-8").strip())

print(line)

Results are :-

Results :-

For now folks that's it.
