Serproxy timeout

Hi,

Is it possible to make the serproxy not timeout? or do you need to put in a really high number in the config file:

I'm wanting to run the Serproxy continuously and I'm unsure how often it will be triggered from the instllation it's in. So would ideally want it to never timeout. Is this possible?

Any help much apprecaited.

# Transform newlines coming from the serial port into nils
# should be set to false if serialproxy is used with the ArduinoProxy class 
newlines_to_nils=false

# Comm ports used
comm_ports=1,2

# Serial devices
# Replace this with your Arduino port. Note that it starts with cu and not tty.  
serial_device1=/dev/cu.usbserial-A3000YLA

# Default settings
comm_baud=115200
comm_databits=8
comm_stopbits=1
comm_parity=none

# Idle time out in seconds
timeout=300

# Port 1 settings (ttyS0)
net_port1=5331

# Port 2 settings (ttyS1)
net_port2=5332

I had problem on serproxy timeout too.. even had been edit serproxy sourcecode to remove timeout to work but I've found better solution,
try TinkerProxy, more flexible and friendly simple GUI
