Mar 08, 2012  Since the spectrometer has a serial port, we can write a program that automates this process. In order for python to be able to talk to the spectrometer, we need to get pySerial, which extends Python's capabilities to include interacting with a serial port. In this python tutorial, I will explain how to: How to configure Python and pySerial. For more details check out pyserial documentation. Check what serial ports are available on your machine. To get a list of available serial ports use. Python -m serial.tools.listports.

Can someone please show me a full python sample code that uses pyserial, i have the package and am wondering how to send the AT commands and read them back!

I have not used pyserial but based on the API documentation at https://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shortintro.html it seems like a very nice interface. It might be worth double-checking the specification for AT commands of the device/radio/whatever you are dealing with.

Specifically, some require some period of silence before and/or after the AT command for it to enter into command mode. I have encountered some which do not like reads of the response without some delay first.
