Sending serial data using the UART on Orange Pi Zero

[ezpl]

I am just getting started using the Orange Pi Zero and installed Xenial 4.10.1. Currently I am using Python and am able to address the GPIO pins

(using this project: https://github.com/duxingkei33/orangepi_PC_gpio_pyH3)

 

However, I need to communicate with a serial device (projector) using RS232 on 9600 BAUD. For this, the built-in UART should do the trick (with an additional voltage converter).

Does anyone know how I can address this device from Python? Alternatively, is there a way to clock" an GPIO output to 9600 BAUD and manually send the data?

 

Thanks,

Simply use python-serial.
