Reading serial data

[chirag]

Hi, im reading serial data form a device from the USB port of raspberry but im just getting the line feed im not getting any characters can i know the reason for this?
here is my python code running on my raspberry

Code: Select all

import serial
while 1:
#       port=serial.Serial(self.serialport,self.baudrate,self.timeout)
        port=serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0',9600,timeout=1)
        line=port.read()
        print line

Is the other end sending at 9600 8N1?

Mis-matched baud rates are the common cause.
