Weighing scale configuration - Odoo 10

Question

I'm setting up a POS PC for a shop and we bought a digital weighing scale (GRAM ZFOC 30 RS).
It
have RS232 usb interface and I can read the output through gtkterm and
change the transfer protocol on the scale but I can't make it work with
Odoo 10 POS. I don't know the values Odoo is listening and how to set
them in the weigh scale (or if it is listening the wheighing scale at
all).
Can you please guide me to the solution?

If someone arrives here finding a solution, I made it work by editing addons/hw_scale/controller/main.py and coding my own solution to communicate with the scale using pyserial.

EDIT:

You can get my addons/hw_scale/controller/main.py here:

You can see the main modification at custom_read_scale() and the scale definition above.

I just edited the code and restarted Odoo. I use Odoo 10. Set the weighing scale to

Hi Carlos,
I'm interested in configuring another weighing scale as well (Ohaus RV-4211) with protocol Sharp (Dialog 02/04). I'm a beginner in editing Odoo, could you please be a little more precise. Did you just edited the main.py and restarted Odoo? Did you have to recompile the module? or did you create a new module?
Thank you.

Hi, Carlos.
Did you modify addons/hw_scale/controller/main.py file on Posbox img? I've modify  that file to adapt it to my scale but I can't write it on Posbox image.

Hi Carlos,
Would you mind sharing what solution you worked out using PySerial? I am stuck with the same issue, but with ODOO v8.
