And make sure both sides of the serial link have the same settings–including the error checking. THEN… Get the serial settings of the transmitting (sending) device and look for error checking enabled. The serial.Serial() class has a flow control argument, so check the PuTTY ‘Flow Control’ setting above and put one of these in your ser = serial.Serial() statement to use the same flow control that PuTTY is using. These are the top rated real world Python examples of extracted from open source projects. There is also one more setting to check: Flow Control. Python Serial.timeout - 10 examples found. If your dongle can be set to use CRC (or whatever error checking the sending device is using), then your dongle will strip the extra byte (assuming it’s a checksum).
#PYTHON SERIAL READ TIMEOUT EXAMPLE MANUAL#
The PuTTY manual refers to detecting CRC errors but doesn’t say anything about enabling Error Checking, so it might be ‘always enabled’ internally. PuTTY is stripping off the extra two bytes after the \r\n.

If the receiving device is expecting a checksum and it knows how many bytes are in the checksum, then the receiving device will strip out the checksum. If the receiving device isn’t expecting a checksum in the data, it will treat the checksum as data. what is your dongle talking to? That is the device that might be adding an error detection checksum. They both got different settings: ser serial.Serial() ser.baudrate 9600 ser.xonxoff0 ser.rtscts0 ser.timeout20 ser. I got 2 types of devices i want to read from. The '\x00' appears to be a two-byte checksum added by the sending device. On my Raspberry Pi i want to read a serial port from a device. Serial communication is simple, but also complex and not easy.

Value = float(record.rstrip(b'\r\n\x00')) # remove CR, LF and NUL at the end If not record or record != 0: # incomplete record read means timeout Record = ser.read_until(expected=b'\x00') # read null-terminated record Port='COM4', timeout=5 # set your parameters as needed, reading timeout 5 seconds Just add the serial port parameters ( baudrate etc.) as needed, adjust the timeout and you will probably want to collect the received values into a list ( your_list.append(value)).
#PYTHON SERIAL READ TIMEOUT EXAMPLE CODE#
The following code should resolve the problem. PuTTY and other terminals do not show NUL characters. It looks like your device sends null-terminated records.

I think it is practically impossible that wrong parameter settings of the serial port would cause it to read extra NUL characters ( b'\x00', also called null character) and otherwise read correct data.
