update?
Hello everybody. I'm new to this forum as i just got a Kindle Touch (WiFi version). I've added a bluetooth module to the kindle, jailbroaken it and written some WAF apps. now i want to do a small app to read some data from the serial port (over bluetooth or so) and display it in the UI. I'd like to do this in JS & HTML but reading the serial port requires a C++ app or a Python script. I'll do all of this (hopefully) but i need to disable first the console from inittab (i need to release the serial to use it as i want). Now... i don't have python (& pyserial) and i have no ideea how to get it. This project seems to provide everything i want so here i am asking for some help :-)
Is there a way of installing Python on a KT? How can i do that (no worries, i am not affraid of loosing my waranty as i just my KT appart and soldered a BT module inside)? I am no stranger to Linux, programming or hardware development but i haven't done much with embedded linux & KT. Probably i'd do it on my own but i have little spare time and there is no point in reinventing the wheel. Also i will share my apps & stuff as soon as it's all functional. just some hints to what i'm doing: i have developed a weather app which reads & displays data from my personal weather station - also developed by me. i currently support chrome, firefox, safari, opera, android, nokia s40 & s60 browsers (all offline apps which fetch the data from the internet when needed and store it localy) and partialy KT. for the KT i also want to add some sensors localy (temperature, pressure, humidity and accelerometer - i can o i do it, no practical reason behind :-P ) and display also local conditions in the same app.
so if anybody has some guides on how to install python & pyserial on the KT or any other hints just let me know.
Thanks,
Leo
