COMPORTER is a COM port reader/writer program. It allows the user to select a COM port and then choose to:
- Read from the port
- Write to the port
- Exit the program
The reading and writing functions are imported from separate modules. The program also handles invalid input and ensures that the COM port is properly closed when exiting.
This project is intended to support the LOXODON rocketry team by automating one of the most repeated tasks in their workflow: reading telemetry data from a COM port and writing commands to it.
This program will serve as a base for future integration with the LOXODON DAQ system. Once the program reaches an optimal state, an API contract will be created and implemented to connect it directly into the existing workflow.
- Automate reading telemetry data from a COM port
- Automate writing commands to a COM port
- Improve workflow efficiency for testing and operations
- Provide a foundation for DAQ integration
