while indata != "%":
indata = ser.read()
print (indata)
Counter = Counter + 1
if Counter > 20:
sys.exit("Timed out waiting for Bootloader Active Character. Please try again")Why does this always timeout even though a % is received?
Python 3.8 under linux
likely the received '%' has framing of some sort.
try:
while indata.strip() != "%":
Thanks for the suggestion but it still times out
#wait for % and then move on
indata = ""
Counter = 0
while indata.strip() != "%":
indata = ser.read()
print (indata.decode())
Counter = Counter + 1
if Counter > 20:
sys.exit("Timed out waiting for Bootloader Active Character. Please try again")
Does serRead return str or some other type like bytes or bytearray?
