Error message in ubunto #3

Just found your Python adapter, many thanks for this! Unfortunately I didn't get it to work:

~/Programme/ChessEngines/CertaboUCI/certabo-uci$ python certabo-uci.py File "certabo-uci.py", line 115 logging.info(f'Auto-detecting serial port') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any idea?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

haklein · 2020-03-22T08:53:33Z

You need to run it with python3.

as0770 · 2020-03-22T09:01:10Z

Is there any description about how to use the adapter I missed?

It has the same python requirements as the original CERTABO software. You might need to install:

pyserial>=3.4
python-chess==0.24.1
appdirs

haklein · 2020-03-22T12:46:05Z

After I've polished up certabo-lichess, I'll rework this UCI script to use my new certabo module, also add a requirements.txt for easier installation, and improve the docs

as0770 · 2020-03-22T14:56:31Z

Now the software is running, but still I can't get it to work.

I tried the calibration process with Arena, Cute Chess and in console. The software creates a folder called __pycache__, but after "setoption name Calibrate value true" there is no response from the software or the board. Here is what I get with the console.

~/Programme/ChessEngines/CertaboUCI/certabo-uci$ python3 certabo-uci.py
uci
id name CERTABO physical board
id author Harald Klein (based on work from Thomas Ahle & Contributors)
option name Calibrate type check default false
option name AddPiece type check default false
option name Rotate type check default false
option name Port type string default auto
uciok
setoption name Calibrate value true
isready
quit

And in Arena:

When I run it without "setoption name Calibrate value true" the software answers isready with readyok.

It should write a log file in your home directory, under ~/.local/share/GUI. Please attach that.

as0770 · 2020-03-23T06:45:53Z

I found the log file. Seems there is a problem finding the device path:

I'll check that later when I got some time.

haklein · 2020-03-23T07:01:20Z

something apparently keeps /dev/ttyUSB0 busy..

as0770 · 2020-03-23T12:24:15Z

I can't see a problem:

haklein · 2020-03-23T12:36:35Z

Could you run fuser -a /dev/ttyUSB0, that would print any PIDs for processes accessing the device. You do have proper permissions, right? (probably the dialout group)

as0770 · 2020-03-23T16:14:54Z

Permissions... I got it to work by putting the files to the python directory. It didn't work from my home directory.

Thanks for your help and patience :-)

haklein · 2020-03-23T16:58:06Z

You're more than welcome!

as0770 · 2020-05-13T10:03:35Z

Suddenly the board didn't work again, /dev/ttyUSB diasppeared.

2020-05-13 08:59:39,405 DEBUG certabo-uci >>> isready
2020-05-13 08:59:39,405 INFO certabo-uci Auto-detecting serial port

2020-05-13 08:59:39,406 INFO codes codes.py - loading calibration
2020-05-13 08:59:39,412 DEBUG utils Port not found

Then I had the clever idea to upgrade to ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and hoped the port will be visible again. The port is still missing and certabouci crashing:

Is it a problem with python 3.8?

haklein · 2020-05-13T11:29:31Z

"No module named 'serial'" - that means that you don't have the python serial module installed for python3.

as0770 · 2020-05-18T18:58:11Z

I fixed the python requirements, cerabo-uci is running. But still /dev/ttyUSB is missing.
$ fuser -a /dev/ttyUSB0 Angegebener Dateiname /dev/ttyUSB0 existiert nicht. /dev/ttyUSB0:
I think it is a board issue, I will contact Certabo.

haklein · 2020-05-18T20:18:10Z

did you plug the magnetic usb connector in the right direction? The LED needs to be on the upper side. You can also remove the magnetic plug, and try a regular USB cable.

as0770 · 2020-05-19T06:44:28Z

It is working now, indeed a connection problem with the cable. Thanks again :-)

haklein · 2020-05-19T06:48:40Z

perfect! Enjoy!
