I am trying to send an image by chunks of 50 bytes. I am able to send it via Python across two xbees serially. Now , i want to read first 50 bytes and append it to a variable , then after the next 50 bytes , append it and so on . But I cant find a good solution at all . Any help ?
I am now getting error f.write(data_stream[i:i+inc]). Type error must be string or buffer. The amount of bytes , length of image is 6330 in sending side . But in the receiving side it is 129. I am in no where now . ## Sender Code
import serial
from xbee import XBee
ser = serial.Serial('COM27',9600)
fn='cameraman.jpeg'
f = open(fn, 'rb')
data = f.read()
f.close()
bytes = len(data)
inc=50
for i in range(0, bytes+1, inc):
string=data[i:i+inc]
f.close()
ser.write(string)
## Reciever Side
import serial
ser = serial.Serial(port='COM28', baudrate=9600,timeout=20)
inc=50
fileNames=[]
data_stream = []
while True:
data_stream.append(ser.read(50))
l=len(data_stream)
print l
for i in range(0, l+1, inc):
fn1 = "image%s" % i
fileNames.append(fn1)
f = open(fn1, 'wb')
f.write(data_stream[i:i+inc])
print fn1
x.append(fn1)
f.close()
new_file = 'elmi666_image.jpg'
dataList = []
for fn in fileNames:
f = open(fn, 'rb')
dataList.append(f.read())
f.close()
f = open(new_file, 'wb')
for data in dataList:
f.write(data)
f.close()
