Parsing serial data "Attribute Error"

[Zeberoff]

I am working on Python 2.7.9 and attempting to parse the serial data. The error I get is AttributeError: 'Serial' object has not attribute 'split'

I am running this on a Pi, and assured that pySerial is installed and updated.

 

import serial

data = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyACM0", 9600)
datasplit = data.split(",")
IR_Data = datasplit [0]

while true:
    print  IR_Data.readline()

Any ideas?

I assuming you are trying to receive messages. It should look something like this...

import serial
 
data = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyACM0", 9600) #This initialized the connection.

if not data.isOpen()
  data.open()
 

while true:
    readSerial = data.read()
    print(readSerial)
    # code #

A serial connection is not data, just like a printer is not a piece of paper. You can't split a connection.
