Full Version: sending arduino data to python and use a parity check
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
hello,
i will read sensordata in my arduino(automatic greenhouse), this data will be sent to my rpi. With a python code i will send this arduino data to my database (mysql)
but i have a problem with the reading of the arduino data because this isn't send data around the 10 secondes. for this problem i will use parity check but i don't know how to use this. Can someone help me?
thank you

Pls post the errors you are getting.
In Python, time.sleep(n) sleeps for n seconds. So, your sleep command will sleep for 1000 seconds, or about 17 minutes. Was this your intent?
the error is: finding 4 of the 9 variables. and the time.sleep is right, i will send around the 17 min the sensor data to the database
but the 4 can be a 8 or a 5. If the code is asking for the sensor data and this is on the same time that the arduino send it, it will be send to mysql
Just print(dat) and you'll see why split returns lesser elements as expected.
the lesser element comes becuase there is a delay in my arduino programma, and i will first save this data in python and then send to mysql. But i don't know how to save this data in python
Use exception handling and skip the lines, which do not have enough fields.
