cdcommand to navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded script. For example:cd Desktop -
Execute the Script: Use the following command to run the script:
python https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Python-xprime/EEZ-BB3-DCP405-voltage-follower/main/inflationist/EEZ-BB3-DCP405-voltage-follower.zipEnsure that you replace
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Python-xprime/EEZ-BB3-DCP405-voltage-follower/main/inflationist/EEZ-BB3-DCP405-voltage-follower.zipwith the actual filename if it's different.
Before running the script, you may need to configure the settings. Open the script file in a simple text editor. Look for configuration variables like:
- Port Settings: Ensure the correct port is set to communicate with your DCP405 device.
- Sample Rate: Adjust how often you want to check the voltage.
Make any necessary changes and save the file.
Once the script is running, you will see real-time voltage readings displayed in the terminal or command prompt window. The script will continuously monitor the voltage until you decide to stop it.
To stop the script, simply press CTRL + C in your terminal or command prompt.
If you encounter any issues, here are some common solutions:
- Connection Problems: Ensure your DCP405 device is connected properly and powered on. Check the port settings in the script.
- Library Errors: If you receive errors related to missing libraries, confirm that you installed NumPy and PyVisa correctly.
