1. Write python programs for Temperature monitoring system simulation.
(Packages requires: socket, random, serial, and io)
▪ Create a server program using TCP sockets to generate continuous
temperature values (generated using a random package).
import socket
import random

# Define server address and port

SERVER_ADDRESS = '127.0.0.1' # Replace with your server address
SERVER_PORT = 8888 # Replace with your server port

# Create a socket object

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# Bind the socket to the server address and port

sock.bind((SERVER_ADDRESS, SERVER_PORT))

# Listen for incoming connections

sock.listen()

print(f'Server listening on {SERVER_ADDRESS}:{SERVER_PORT}...')

# Accept incoming connections

conn, addr = sock.accept()
print(f'Client connected from {addr}...')

# Serve temperature data

while True:
# Wait for client request
data = conn.recv(1024)

# If client sends 'get_temp', send back a random temperature value

if data == b'get_temp':
temp = round(random.uniform(20, 30),2)
conn.sendall(str(temp).encode('utf-8'))

# If client sends anything else, close the connection

 else:
conn.close()
print(f'Client disconnected from {addr}...')
break

▪ Create a client program using serial communication. The program needs to

read the temperature every second from the server. (without
io.TextIOWrapper)

import serial
import time

# Define server address and port

SERVER_ADDRESS = '127.0.0.1' # Replace with your server address
SERVER_PORT = 8888 # Replace with your server port

# Create a serial object

ser = serial.serial_for_url(f'socket://{SERVER_ADDRESS}:{SERVER_PORT}')

# Read temperature every second from server

while True:
# Send request to server to get temperature
ser.write(b'get_temp')

# Read temperature value from server

temp = ser.readline().decode('utf-8').strip()

# Print temperature value

print(f'Temperature: {temp} °C')

# Wait for 1 second before reading temperature again

time.sleep(1)

▪ Also identify the difference with and without io.TextIOWrapper while

reading the temperature in the client program.
Client program with io.TextIOWrapper
import socket
import io
import time

# Define server address and port

SERVER_ADDRESS = '127.0.0.1' # Replace with your server address
SERVER_PORT = 8888 # Replace with your server port

# Create a socket object and connect to the server

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect((SERVER_ADDRESS, SERVER_PORT))

# Create a text stream object using the socket connection

sock_file = sock.makefile('rwb')
text_stream = io.TextIOWrapper(sock_file)

# Read temperature every second from server

while True:
# Send request to server to get temperature
sock.sendall(b'get_temp')

# Read temperature value from server

temp_data = sock.recv(1024).decode('utf-8').rstrip()
if temp_data:
temp = float(temp_data)
print(f'Temperature: {temp} °C')
else:
print('No response from server.')

# Wait for 1 second before reading temperature again

time.sleep(1)

In the client code we have written using io.TextIOWrapper, the difference in reading
temperature is that the bytes received from the server are automatically converted
to Unicode text data using the specified character encoding (UTF-8 in this case)
before being read by the client.

Without using io.TextIOWrapper, the bytes were manually converted to Unicode

text data using the decode() method of the bytes object. This can be error-prone if
the wrong character encoding is used or if the data is not in a valid format.

Using io.TextIOWrapper simplifies the process of reading text data over a network
socket by handling character encoding automatically. It also provides additional
functionality, such as buffering and line-ending conversion, that can make reading
and writing text data more efficient and convenient.
