I am using a Raspberry Pi to interface with a Ping360 sensor and record data in a .bin log file format, similar to PingViewer. The Ping360 sensor is connected to my headless Raspberry Pi, and I aim to accomplish this using a Python script.
I have established communication with the Ping360 sensor using the ping-python libraries. The sensor is connected to the Raspberry Pi via serial communication, and I am using the following code to start the connection:
from brping.ping360 import Ping360
myPing = Ping360()
myPing.connect_serial("/dev/ttyUSB0", 115200)
message = myPing.get_device_data()
if message is not None:
print("Payload:")
print(f" - mode: {message['mode']}")
print(f" - gain_setting: {message['gain_setting']}")
print(f" - angle: {message['angle']}")
print(f" - transmit_duration: {message['transmit_duration']}")
print(f" - sample_period: {message['sample_period']}")
print(f" - transmit_frequency: {message['transmit_frequency']}")
print(f" - number_of_samples: {message['number_of_samples']}")
print(f" - data_length: {len(message['data'])}")
data_hex_strings = [f'0x{byte:02x}' for byte in message['data']]
print(f" - data: {data_hex_strings}")
However, I am unsure how to save sensor log data in a .bin file like PingViewer.
Can someone guide me on modifying my Python script to continuously store Ping360 sensor log data in a .bin file? I’d appreciate help with code modifications and additional steps. Your assistance would be invaluable in recording the sensor data for analysis.
