globalVar module

This module is imported from all the others and it stores the global variables and some global functions.

globalVar.getErrorTimeString()

Called when an error occours ,return the current time and a progressive number of the error, incrementing the error_count. Used to send the error time and error_count to debug the software.

globalVar.getListPinsConfigByHardwareModel(hwName, pin_mode)

Given hardware name and a pin mode , return a list containing the pin numbers that are configurated with that pin_mode

Parameters:

• hwName –

  The type of the hardware node for examples:

  • ProminiA
  • Plug6way
  • RouterGL
  • RouterGA
  • RouterRB
  • Any other hardware type added as hardwareModelDict key in globalVar.py

• pin_mode –

  The pin mode you are searching for:

  • sr_relay:

    Latch relay where the first pin in the tuple is set and the second is reset

  • digital_output:

    Output digital pins

  • digital_input :

    Input digital pins

  • analog_input :

    Analog input

  • servo_output :

    Servomotor control pin

  • analog_output :

    Pwm output pin

globalVar.getListUsedPinsByHardwareModel(hwName)

Given an hardware name return a list with all the pins used by a hardware model

Parameters:hwName –

The type of the harware node for examples:

• ProminiA
• Plug6way
• RouterGL
• RouterGA
• RouterRB
• Any other hardware type added as hardwareModelDict key in globalVar.py

globalVar.get_ip_address()

globalVar.logprint(message, verbose=0, error_tuple=None)

|Print the message passed and if the system is in debug mode or if the error is important send a mail |Remember, to clear syslog you could use : > /var/log/syslog |To read system log in openwrt type:logread
