Hey there all,
I have a gps device that talks to the computer over a serial port.
i am using the pyserial module and getting values in.
Here is my delima,
i am supposed to read a message in that starts with a $ (this is all ascii).
but when i do a ser.read(16) and i try to print it to a screen, it is
all just weird characters.
Are you sure you opened the serial port with the correct baudrate and
other settings? It's common to see unexpected characters coming from a
serial port if you use the wrong baudrate.
