How to build python sample codes

Tutorial to execute python sample code and introduction to python package installation.

# Install python package and sample code

1.Copy sample.tar.gz and library.tar.gz contained in the programing guide from your PC to ioThinx: For example, if the IP address of the ioThinx is "192.168.127.254", use the following command:

1 user@Linux:~$ scp sample.tar.gz moxa@192.168.127.254:~
2 user@Linux:~$ scp library.tar.gz moxa@192.168.127.254:~

2.Extract the sample code and library

1 moxa@Moxa:~$ tar zxvf sample.tar.gz
2 moxa@Moxa:~$ tar zxvf library.tar.gz

3.Install

1 moxa@Moxa:~$ cd library/iothinx/python
2 moxa@Moxa:~/library/iothinx/python$ ./install.sh
3
4 ...
5 [ OK ] Install finished

4.The module will be installed to the standard location. For example

1 /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

## Python Interactive Mode

1.open python interactive windwos

1 moxa@Moxa:~$ sudo python3
2 [sudo] password for moxa:

4 Python 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39)
5 [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux
6 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
7 >>>

2.Then in the Python Interactive Mode.

1 >>> from ioThinx_4530 import ioThinx_4530_API
2 >>> device = ioThinx_4530_API.ioThinx_4530_API()
3 >>> slot_num = device.ioThinx_Misc_GetModuleCount()
4 >>> print("slot_num = {}".format(slot_num))
5 slot_num = 12
6
7 >>> for slot in range(1,slot_num):
8 ... print(device.ioThinx_Misc_GetModuleInfo(slot))
9 ...
