Right now I am using an arduino to send data from an analog sensor to COM4. I am trying to make a python script that continuously monitors that data and looks for a certain parameter.
I tried something like this but it isn't outputing the data like I want.
import serial
port = "COM4"
ser = serial.Serial(port,9600, timeout =1)
value = 0
while 1:
value = ser.read()
print value
