It is doing exactly what I need, thank you !\n\nHowever I had some troubles when using a pin mode as \"INPUT\". For instance when running the following simple example : \n\n\u003e  from Arduino import Arduino\n\u003e \n\u003e board = Arduino('9600') #plugged in via USB, serial com at rate 9600\n\u003e board.pinMode(5,\"INPUT\")\n\u003e board.close()\n\neverything runs fine. However, if I run this same code a second time I get the following output : \n\n\u003e  File \"./TestArduino.py\", line 23, in \u003cmodule\u003e\n\u003e    board = Arduino('9600') #plugged in via USB, serial com at rate 9600\n\u003e  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/arduino_python-0.2-py2.6.egg/Arduino/arduino.py\", line 106, in **init**\n\u003e    raise ValueError(\"Could not find port.\")\n\u003e ValueError: Could not find port.\n\nBut then it works again if I disconnect and reconnect the Arduino. Such an issue is not happening if I replace \"INPUT\" by \"OUTPUT\". The versions of Python and python-serial are respectively 2.6.5 and 2.7.\n\nThe issue I have is then not a major obstacle since I can just reconnect the Arduino board. But I was thinking that you may want to give this a look.\n\nLucas\n## UPDATE : \n\nThis issue is not happening when running with Python 2.7 !\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/LucasPa","@type":"Person","name":"LucasPa"},"datePublished":"2013-12-19T18:47:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/9/Python-Arduino-Command-API/issues/9"}
