Overview: I'm attempting to read strings from a serial port. Each string ends
with a carriage return and line feed. I want to write those strings to a file,
like a log file. So, if I send P1 and the P2 on a new line, I would expect to
open this file and find (line 1) P1 (line 2) P2.
Problem: The file only contains P2. It always overwrites the first line. I can
send 20 strings and the file will always contain the last string received.
Code:
#Import the serial module
import serial
#Open the serial port w/ settings
ser=serial.Serial(
port="/dev/ttyUSB0",
baudrate=9600,
timeout=None)
#Establish a placeholder for the variable line
line=[]
#Print data received on the serial port after removing the CR and LF characters
while True:
rawcode=ser.readline()
codelog=open('/home/pi/avdms/codes.log','w')
codelog.write(rawcode)
codelog.close()
