[Resolve] Python scripts for Ekos scheduler

Python scripts for Ekos scheduler was created by Arnaud

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a python script at the end of scheduler process... but Ekos displays a message about the script failure, without any detailed explanation, nothing in logs...
I tried with the example we can find in the documentation :
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
 
import os
import time
import sys
 
print "Turning on observatory equipment..."
sys.stdout.flush()
 
time.sleep(5)
 
print "Checking safety switches..."
sys.stdout.flush()
 
time.sleep(5)
 
print "All systems are GO"
sys.stdout.flush()
 
exit(0)
It's not working. Same failure message. Should i use python 3 ? Or is there any other requirements (i put execution rights). ?

Thanks for your help.

Looks fine, just make sure it has execution rights (chmod +x)

Hi,

I have put your script into Ekos and it works in Python 3 after some modifications.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys
print ("Turning on observatory equipment...")
sys.stdout.flush()
 
time.sleep(5)
 
print ("Checking safety switches...")
sys.stdout.flush()
 
time.sleep(5)
 
print ("All systems are GO")
sys.stdout.flush()

Ok Thanks. I will try with python 3.
Documentation on scheduler web page is not up to date. Perhaps i can help to do it ?

Best Regards.
