Need help using Pyserial

[Jeff_t]

This is in the docs

There are four special non-terminal characters in the grammar. The <command-prefix> non-terminal (see the BNF or RR Syntax pages) is a hash-mark (or number sign) character (ASCII 0x23 '#') followed by a colon character (ASCII 0x3a ':'). The <command-suffix> non-terminal is a hash-mark (or number sign) character (ASCII 0x23 '#'). An ACK non-terminal (ASCII 0x06) is also used as a Command in the grammar (returning the current Alignment mode). And finally the degree symbol (ASCII 223 '°' [0xdf]) non-terminal is used as the separator character in degrees and minutes. This character is shown as an asterisk (ASCII 0x2a '*') in the manual for both the 16-inch and smaller telescopes and is followed by a note in the manual describing the ASCII value of the character. On the hand controller, however, the value appears as a degree symbol.

and here is where I found the docs

hope this helps you progress.
