Hello Robin,
After searching for some relevant threads, I though to ask here as it seems to be relevant to the problem at hand!
This is so old I had forgotten I had written it.
Just start your own Thread with a clear description of your problem and include the program you are having difficulty with.
This Python - Arduino demo may help. Also see Serial Input Basics - simple reliable ways to receive data..
Please don't reply here - the Thread is too old and is not specific to your problem, Just start your own Topic (thread).
