Good morning,
I've been working with the libftdi driver in Python recently and I've
run into a problem calling some of the functions from Python.
I stumbled across a mailing list thread between Flynn Marquardt and
Thomas
(http://www.mail-archive.com/libftdi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00731.html)
which describes adding the following code to the ftdi.i swig file:
pointer_functions(unsigned int, uintp);
...to give us the ability to work with "unsigned int *" types.
Now, I wanted to use the ftdi_read_pins() function which requires us
to pass an "unsigned char *" type:
int ftdi_read_pins ( struct ftdi_context * ftdi,
unsigned char * pins
)
Do we need to do something similar to support this uchar * type in Python?
I tried adding the following and recompiling:
pointer_functions(unsigned char *, ucharp);
However, Python still gave me a Type error. I was only able to get the
ftdi_read_pin function working when I added and used the following:
pointer_functions(char *, charp);
Perhaps the following line in the ftdi.i file "%typemap(in) unsigned
char* = char*;" is what requires the use of char* instead of uchar* of
this?
I appreciate any advice on the best course of action on this matter.
Best regards,
Chris Zeh
