WireViz VS pySerial

If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted?

I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path.

Like WireViz?

WireViz is nice for generating manufacturing files for wiring looms, but you might want to use something else for descriptive documentation diagrams

WireViz, Easily document cables and wiring harnesses WireViz is a little tool very handy to document your cabling and get beautiful visual from it.

I found that wireviz does have multicolour support, dashed and stripes but maybe not the angled one we'd need for earth lead in Australia (iec also). Diagrammatically it should look like a barbers pole. yellow and green

Code your REST endpoint to use something like pySerial to send the message to your device

If the Tach is the older style I think this would be a great first project. If you need to emulate CAN it’s going to be a rather more complex project. python CPU/RAM utilizationpython Serial communication library

I haven't, but I would try a Linux box with two serial ports, connect both things to it so it's literally man in the middle. The PySerial module for Python, and it has an example bi-directional Serial to TCP/IP relay including a threaded serial listener, you might be able to hack that into a Serial <--> Serial relay with custom logging/interception fairly quickly.

Connecting to the Russound device is only possible by TCP, you can make use of a TCP to Serial gateway such as tcp_serial_redirect

Look in source https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/blob/master/serial/serialcli.py

The code that runs on the Raspberry Pi needs to listen for incoming data over the serial connection. Several libraries exist, we will choose the Python library pyserial.
