After I knew how to connect and which commands to run on my Bose sound system, I wrote a little Python script that:

• opens and connects to the serial port
• issues a TAP command of your choice
• and responds with the corresponding result.

Script

Usage

# bose.py [tap command]

Install

This script requires the pyserial module, that can easily be installed on Arch Linux ARM like this:

pacman -Syu python2-pyserial
