OOPS, originally posted this in the Knoppmyth section.


Last week I did a clean install (was running R5.5) of R6.
So far so good. Working great.
The only thing I'm missing is recstat (LED encoder status).

I believe that it was included in R5.5 but needed to be enabled.
Is it installed with R6? If so, how do I enable it?
If not, what is needed? I've got the original recstat script (code can also be found elsewhere in this forum).
I also remember needing to install serial port files (pyserial) to get it working. Is this installed?

I cannot seem to remember implement this for KnoppMyth. Provide details and open a ticket in Flyspray.

I did a search for "recstat" in the Arch repos and the AUR and came up blank in both.

I have been trying to get this to work under Arch for awhile - not to control lights but to programmatically control external USB drives for automated backups (see http://linux.die.net/man/1/pport ). I have had this working before (Knoppmyth releases) but cannot get it to work here. The scripts run (altered to simply set pin to high or low (12 V+ or 12 V-)) but the pin states do not change (I suspect pyserial is not really working but I do not know how to confirm). Does anybody have this working (lights or otherwise)?

    To turn off...
    #!/usr/bin/python

    import commands
    import serial,time

    #Open COM1
    s = serial.Serial(0)
    #Turn off all pins
    s.setRTS(0)
    s.setDTR(0)

    To turn on
    #!/usr/bin/python

    import commands
    import serial,time

    #Open COM1
    s = serial.Serial(0)
    #Turn of all pins
    s.setRTS(1)
    s.setDTR(1)


Oh, you do have to install pyserial but it is simple - go to http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyseria ... stallation
