will this be correct??? what i want to happen is saved every received data (6 data bytes) to an array for each one.
for k in range (rx_len-9): if byte[k] == 70 and byte [k+2] == 6 and sum(byte[k:k+10]) & 0xff == 0: #print byte[k:k+10] temp1.append(byte[k+3]) temp2.append(byte[k+4]) pyra1.append(byte[k+5]) pyra2.append(byte[k+6]) voltage.append(byte[k+7]) current.append(byte[k+8]) if time.sleep(300) == True: temp1 = [] temp2 = [] pyra1 = [] pyra2 = [] voltage = [] current = [] and after x minutes of of receiving data, the arrays will be emptied of its contents. thanks again for the help.
