Install Pyserial. Before installing Pyserial, we need to get pip: sudo apt install python-pip. Now we can go on to install Pyserial: python -m pip install pyserial Test installation and read console. To read our console, we need to connect the Raspberry Pi USB port to Arduino one. For testing purposes, I'll show you results from my weather system. Python Serial Communication (pyserial) Python Language Tutorial Python Language Pedia Tutorial. Data = ser.readline to read the data from serial device while something is being written over it. #for python2.7 data = ser.read(ser.inWaiting) #for python3 ser.read(ser.inWaiting).

Readline In Python

Opening serial ports¶

Open port at “9600,8,N,1”, no timeout:

Pyserial Example Code

Open named port at “19200,8,N,1”, 1s timeout:

Open port at “38400,8,E,1”, non blocking HW handshaking:

Python Pyserial Read Example

Configuring ports later¶

Get a Serial instance and configure/open it later:

Also supported with context manager:

Readline¶

Be careful when using readline(). Do specify a timeout when opening theserial port otherwise it could block forever if no newline character isreceived. Also note that readlines() only works with a timeout.readlines() depends on having a timeout and interprets that as EOF (endof file). It raises an exception if the port is not opened correctly.

Do also have a look at the example files in the examples directory in thesource distribution or online.

Note

The eol parameter for readline() is no longer supported whenpySerial is run with newer Python versions (V2.6+) where the moduleio is available.

EOL¶

To specify the EOL character for readline() or to use universal newlinemode, it is advised to use io.TextIOWrapper:

Testing ports¶

Listing ports¶

python-mserial.tools.list_ports will print a list of available ports. Itis also possible to add a regexp as first argument and the list will onlyinclude entries that matched.

Note

The enumeration may not work on all operating systems. It may beincomplete, list unavailable ports or may lack detailed descriptions of theports.

Accessing ports¶

pySerial includes a small console based terminal program calledserial.tools.miniterm. It can be started with python-mserial.tools.miniterm<port_name>(use option -h to get a listing of all options).
