Hi, I am using pyserial to acquire data from an A/D converter plugged to my serial port.
my hardware represents analog voltages as 12bit numbers. So, according to the manufacturer, this number will be stored in two bytes like this; |-------------bits(1-8)-----------| Byte1: x x x n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 Byte2: x n6 n7 n8 n9 n10 n11 n12 where x is some other information, and nx are the digits of my number. My problem is to how to recover my reading from these bytes, since pyserial gives me a character (string) from each byte... I dont know how to throw away the unneeded bits and concatenate the remaining bits to form a number... Flávio Codeço Coelho -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
