Python API to interact with PulsePal

Hi there 👋

pypulsepal's Issues

Move param structure to flattened and explicit properties

Add offline mode for testing/debugging

• accept all args, but do not really upload -> might require to move .write serial comms functions into central location to block interaction to avoid serial exceptions
• also requires to not auto-connect

Add a json/yaml config loader to specify port, channels and params

example code does not work

the provided example code doesn't run on my system:

# Create PulsePal object
pp = PulsePal(serial_port=serial_port)

# Set parameters

## Manually
pp.program_one_param(channel=2, param_name="phase1Duration", param_value=.002)

## Via convencience functions
pp.set_resting_voltage(channel=2, voltage=4.2)

# Upload parameters
pp.upload_all()

# Trigger channels
pp.trigger_selected_channels(channel_2=True, channel_4=True)
pp.trigger_all_channels()

# Stop outputs
pp.stop_all_outputs()

# Save settings (also done automatically on disconnect)
pp.save_settings()

trigger_all_channels() calls self.trigger_channels() of the PulsePal object, which isn't implemented. Guessing by its call signature that it should be self.trigger_selected_channels() still makes it crash further down the road, briefly looking at it seems like _read_confirmation() never returns True.
