Reading from RS 232 port using python
Reading from RS 232 port using python
I got the solution. I used a Virtual serial port simulator to create virtual 2 ports and I paired those ports. Then I used pyserial python library for reading from and writing to the ports.
Sample code for reading from port
import time
import serial
# configure the serial connections (the parameters differs on the device you are connecting to)
ser = serial.Serial(
port=COM2,
baudrate=9600,
timeout=1,
parity=serial.PARITY_ODD,
stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_TWO,
bytesize=serial.SEVENBITS
)
ser.isOpen()
# Reading the data from the serial port. This will be running in an infinite loop.
while 1 :
# get keyboard input
bytesToRead = ser.inWaiting()
data = ser.read(bytesToRead)
time.sleep(1)
print(data)
