Hi, I need to read a 9 byte response from a device on the serial port. >From reading the pySerial documentation it appears that I can only read in characters at a time. If I do: serialport.read(4) I would get 8 bytes, and if I did serialport.read(5) I think the port will block until a time out, since there Is there a trick to read 9 bytes off of a serial port? Thanks, Nik
