Hi all,
Here is the code I have in python. I want to output text to my braille
display. 
The good news is that I can connect to the server and get the version number
of the server and the size of the braille display.
However, I do not see the text being written to the display.
import brlapi
import errno
import Xlib.keysymdef.miscellany
import time
try:
	b = brlapi.Connection()
	print("Server version " +
str(b.getParameter(brlapi.PARAM_SERVER_VERSION, 0, brlapi.PARAMF_GLOBAL)))
	print("Display size " +
str(b.getParameter(brlapi.PARAM_DISPLAY_SIZE, 0, brlapi.PARAMF_GLOBAL)))
	b.writeText("hello")
	time.sleep(20)
	b.closeConnection()
except Exception as e:
	print("error")
	print(e)
Pranav
