Note that that's the same thing as just printing repr(i). > so, what do i do now? > and thanks for the info, by the way, been writing python for 2 years, > but this is all new to me. Maybe we should back up a little bit. You said in your original post that you were expecting ASCII characters from the serial device. How do you know that's what you should be getting back? Have you tried communicating with the device using some other program? If so, what program? Do you have specs that tell you that's how it's supposed to work? Are you sure you're connecting to the device with the right parameters for baudrate, byte size, parity, etc? I notice that nowhere in this thread have you posted the code you use to actually communicate with the serial device. Maybe you should do that. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
