Decoding UART using api

Achref · Post by **Achref** » Fri Apr 01, 2022 2:53 pm

Hello!
I'm working to use picoscope API for programming picoscope 2205a, and I need to decode standard UART protocol, but I couldn't find any API in pico software (ps2000aApi.h) for decoding UART frame.
is there a way to do this?
Thank you,

It is not in the API it is only in the picoscope software.

If you want to decode serial data in the SDK look at the sigrok git repository for the decoding tools
http://sigrok.org/gitweb/

especially the decode library

Thanks for your reply Benno !
So I just need to use lib sigrok, isn't necessary to use picoscope API??
and If I understood correctly, for lib sigrok I need to use Python langage as implemented here: "libsigrokdecode-24ba9e1/libsigrokdecode-24ba9e1/decoders/uart"

you will need both.

and jou will probably change some code to get it working.

And when I checked, I found that devices of Pico Technology are not yet supported by sigrok, they are just planned.

Thank you,

that is why you need to use the SDK to capture the data and the sigrok libs to decode the captured data to serial data.
