Question

I am writing a program that sends command codes to a serial device and gets a response from the device, then sends another command. I can send the commands perfectly, and even get a response. However, my if statement does not seem to acknowledge the responses.

Example:

response = sendCommand(beep)
if response == '0D6010100':
  print"Command beeped!"

Like I mentioned, I get a successful response code of 0D6010100, but the if statement doesn’t acknowledge it. Any ideas?

I am working with Python 2.7 and using PySerial

UDPATE:

print type(response) gives me:
print repr(response) gives me: ‘0D6010100\r\n’
I assume the \r\n at the end of the repr(response) has some kind hand in this issue?

You need to trim the response first:

if response.rstrip() == '0D6020100':
   print 'beepity boop beep woohoo!'
