Hi, I'm newbe here

I try to test my ch340 probe on my mac Big Sur with python gurux library. I've installed the ch340 driver and when i list with ls /dev/tty* i found /dev/tty.usbserial-1420, /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 related to the probe.

But when I try the python main.py in Gurux.DLMS.Client.Example.python the Available serial ports is empty.

If i try python main.py -S /dev/tty.usbserial-1420 i get OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

someone can help me?
thanks in advice

Hi, I believe that your…

Hi,

I believe that your serial port name is not correct. Have you installed the correct driver for ch340?

You can test the driver if you download Arduino IDE and check that you can see the serial port. You can also get the port name.

Hi,
The serial port name is wrong. Try with this:

main.py -S /dev/cu.wchusbserial1420

Hi, It doesn't work with MacOs, probably there are issue with driver

I try it on raspberry pi and it find the right port, and when do the python main.py -S /dev/ttyUSB0

this is what I receive:

python main.py -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -t verbose

Is possible that my meter couldn't be read?

Hi, Check what baud rate…

Hi,

Check what baud rate your meter is using. It might be something other than 9600.

It might also be that one of your client settings differs from the meter's expectations.
It might be the server address. Check the meter manual to see if you can find the correct settings from there.
