i asked chatgpt and it gave me this code:
import ctypes
Load the Dobot API DLL
dobot_api = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary("DobotDll.dll") # Replace "DobotDll.dll" with the appropriate DLL file name
Define the function prototype for GetDeviceName
GetDeviceName = dobot_api.GetDeviceName
GetDeviceName.argtypes = [ctypes.c_char_p, ctypes.c_uint32]
GetDeviceName.restype = ctypes.c_int
Define the buffer to store the device name
device_name_buffer = ctypes.create_string_buffer(256) # Adjust the buffer size as needed
Call the GetDeviceName function
result = GetDeviceName(device_name_buffer, ctypes.sizeof(device_name_buffer))
Check if the call was successful
if result == 0:
Print the device name
print("Device Name:", device_name_buffer.value.decode())
else:
Handle the error
print("Failed to retrieve device name. Error code:", result)
Hope it works for you
