I've got a raspberry pi 4 and a pimoroni automation hat which has an I2C device ads1015. I'm trying to format a command to the device using the python3 node.
I'm trying to pass buffer data back to the ms.payload, but byes aren't JSON serializable, so I'm running into issues.
I get this error:
"Object of type bytes is not JSON serializable↵"
I've tried pre-converting it to base64 and then as a string, as shown below. But this doesn't feel quite right. Can you recommend how to do this correctly? In java, it would be something like Buffer.from(x, 'utf8')
import base64
channel = 0
samples_per_second = 1600
programmable_gain = 4096
SAMPLES_PER_SECOND_MAP = {128: 0x0000, 250: 0x0020, 490: 0x0040, 920: 0x0060, 1600: 0x0080, 2400: 0x00A0, 3300: 0x00C0}
CHANNEL_MAP = {0: 0x4000, 1: 0x5000, 2: 0x6000, 3: 0x7000}
PROGRAMMABLE_GAIN_MAP = {6144: 0x0000, 4096: 0x0200, 2048: 0x0400, 1024: 0x0600, 512: 0x0800, 256: 0x0A00}
PGA_6_144V = 6144
PGA_4_096V = 4096
PGA_2_048V = 2048
PGA_1_024V = 1024
PGA_0_512V = 512
PGA_0_256V = 256
# sane defaults
config = 0x0003 | 0x0100
config |= SAMPLES_PER_SECOND_MAP[samples_per_second]
config |= CHANNEL_MAP[channel]
config |= PROGRAMMABLE_GAIN_MAP[programmable_gain]
# set "single shot" mode
config |= 0x8000
data = str(base64.b64encode(bytes(config)))
msg['payload'] = data
return msg
