Hi
I am just trying to analyze (parse) data from the serial port (I have
connected GPS receiver to the ttyS0, so I can read ASCII characters in
the CSV form on the serial port 1).
I am doing this just to understand how Python works (yes, you can call
me Python/Linux newbie :)
My environment is Fedora Core 4, Python 2.4.1
CSV alone (to read CSV data from the file) and py-serial alone (to
read data from the serial port) are working flawlessly.
Even I was trying to google through this group and through the
Internet, I am not able to read (and parse) CSV data directly from the
serial port.
data from my serial port (using py-serial) I am getting this way:
>>> import serial
>>> s = serial.Serial(port=0,baudrate=4800, timeout=20)
>>> s.readline()
'$GPRMC,101236.331,A,5026.1018,N,01521.6653,E,0.0,328.1,230805,,*09\r\n'
my next intention was to do something like this:
import csv
r = csv.reader(s.readline())
for currentline in r:
if currentline[0] == '$GPRMC':
print currentline[2]
print currentline[4]
but it does not work
Thanks for your comments
