Slice of Pi and Xbee

[fulvio]

I have purchased a "Slice of Pi" from ModMyPi:

I have an Xbee module that I'm placing on this breakout.

I have been using a USB breakout board to send serial packets from the Xbee to an Arduino. This was always working just fine by sending a packet to '/dev/ttyUSB0'.

The problem is that now that I have this slice of pi breakout board and I'm not sure what TTY device to use.

This is the current python code I was using:

Code: Select all

import socket
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import wiringpi

device = "/dev/ttyUSB0"
message = "hello world"

serial = wiringpi.Serial(ttyDevice, 9600)
serial.puts(message)

I wasn't sure what device to set while using the Slice of Pi breakout instead.

Is it /dev/ttyAMA0?

According to this tutorial that's what they were using:

I tried that and it doesn't send any packets to the Arduino.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget to free up the Com-port !!! because it's default used/occupied for Console input/output
