Serial connection only over relay (socat) #5
Description
A JeeLink is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0.
Everything described below is executed with a user has full access to /dev/ttyUSB0:
When I try to scan the sensors using the following command, there is no response from pylacrosse:
pylacrosse -r 1 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 scan
To monitor the behavior, I created a relay with socat:
socat /dev/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0 SYSTEM:'tee in.txt |socat - "PTY,link=/tmp/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0,waitslave" |tee out.txt'
Started pylacrosse again using the relay:
pylacrosse -r 1 -d /tmp/ttyUSB0 scan
id=16 t=-0.100000 h=85 nbat=0 name=unknown
id=32 t=0.700000 h=83 nbat=0 name=unknown
Strangely now pylacrosse is displaying my sensors...
Terminal programs (tested with picoterm and here with pythons minicom) are also working:
python -m serial.tools.miniterm /dev/ttyUSB0 57600
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0 57600,8,N,1 ---

The info-command also works with pylacrosse (for /dev/ttyUSB0 and /tmp/ttyUSB0):
pylacrosse -d /dev/ttyUSB0 info
