Thanks for your response i tried closing idle and the following code prints port opened Write failed code: import serial import time ser=serial.Serial(port='\\.\COM2', baudrate=9600) if ser: print 'port opened' ser.open() if ser.write('1'): print 'Write success' else: print 'write failed' time.sleep(1) a=ser.readline() time.sleep(1) b=ser.readline() print b ser.close() I believe this might be a serial port access error. how to solve this?
