Overview: I'm attempting to read strings from a serial port. Each string ends with a carriage return and line feed. I want to write those strings to a file, like a log file. So, if I send P1 and the P2 on a new line, I would expect to open this file and find (line 1) P1 (line 2) P2.
Problem: The file only contains P2. It always overwrites the first line. I can send 20 strings and the file will always contain the last string received. Code: #Import the serial module import serial #Open the serial port w/ settings ser=serial.Serial( port="/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=9600, timeout=None) #Print data received on the serial port after removing the CR and LF characters while True: rawcode=ser.readline() codelog=open('/home/pi/avdms/codes.log','w') codelog.write(rawcode) codelog.close() -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
