Arduino Serial Communication with Raspberry PI Issue

[anon25830358]

My raspberry pi is not receiving or not reading serial data from a connected Arduino. My Arduino is set to collect pressure and temperature data at 1-hour intervals and send it over serial port. The raspberry pi should listen for the data and write it to a file. I have it setup so that if the raspberry pi does not receive any data within an hour, it resets itself and writes error code to a file. My current setup resets itself every hour. Before I added the reset it would just not save anything for hours on end. The Arduino is connected to the raspberry pi via usb port.

float pressureValue0 = 0, pressureValue1 = 0, pressureValue2 = 0, pressureValue3 = 0 ;             //Variable to store the value coming from the pressure transducer

const int pressureZero = 102.3;                 //Analog reading of pressure transducer at 0psi
