Manipulating Image in SimpleCV Over PySerial

Many thanks for the response.

And thank you for pointing that out. But I've played with different delay settings before - all to no avail.
So I flashed Arduino again, changing to delay (1) .

Then ran this code in Python

from SimpleCV import *
import sys, time, serial

ser = serial.Serial(port = 'COM3', baudrate = 9600)

while True:
	try:
	 t1 = ser.readline()
	 
	 print int(t1)
	 
	except KeyboardInterrupt:
	 print 'exiting'
	 break

ser.flush()
ser.close()

The command prompt was showing 0s when the sensor was left alone and climbed to as much as 800+ when I pressed on it.
This was in-line with what I would see on Arduino's serial monitor and just as responsive.

Again, thank you for helping out.
