Reading PIXAXE URF ERF output with Python

August 24, 2013

Previously, we've talked about reading light level data via an LDR and a PICAXE and transmitting this wirelessly using an ERF and URF pair. (http://drumcoder.co.uk/blog/2013/aug/24/ldr-wireless-sensor/).

In that article, I'm reading the output using a simple cat command, but I'd like to take more control and read it with …
