So during the course of the day I've managed to get a bit of code working to capture the play / stop status and output a result to the log file.
I'm now looking into how (if its possible) to communicate this result to the serial port with a view to having an arduino attached to it.
I've had a quick search and google on the subject but I can't really find anything definitive if this has been done or is possible, just lots of attempts and no real follow up on any failure / sucess.
From a straight python in linux setup it seems pretty straight forward but i would seem there is no build in serial functions within XBMC? Is this right?
Any advice on directions I could investigate?
