Module Config

This module contains a method to parse the config.txt to a python dictionary object.

Methods

config.get_config() → dict

This will parse the config.txt to a python dictionary object. The return value will be the python dictionary.

Example

The following code shows an example to print the application name and initialize a serial port with parameters from the config.txt file.

Example config.txt

# ----System---- #
omc048:
  system_id: Description
  substation_name: Docs
  application: Example

# ----Sensor-Settings---- #
sensors:
- id: dummy
  port: serial1
  baudrate: 4800
  sample_interval: "* * * * *"
  supply_port: 3
  wakeup_time: 60

Example main.py

from config import get_config
import omc048

config = get_config()

print('app name {}'.format(config['omc048']['application']))

sensor1 = config['sensors'][0]
s1 = omc048.serial(sensor1['port'])
s1.init(sensor1['baudrate'])

# do something with serial1...
