Unable to read/do not receive any data from com port using pyserial

[rfarley]

Hi,

I am using the pyserial module and am trying to read the serial port from an accelerometer (LIS302DL).

It has an option in which you write "*debug\r\n" and then you read the data (three axes output) from the output.

I use hyperterminal with the below settings and it works fine:

baudrate=115200
databits=8
parity=none
stop bit=1
flow control=none

ASCII Setup: "Send line ends with line feeds" and "Echo typed characters locally"

However when I try using the below python code, nothing is read (using win xp).
It may be a case of the "*debug\n" not actually being written (?) - I've tried a multitude of combinations of single quotes versus double quotes etc.

Does anybody have any ideas or what my issue is ?
======================

import serial
 
ser = serial.Serial()
ser.baudrate = 115200
ser.port = 4
ser.timeout=3
ser.isOpen()
settings=ser
print "Serial port settings: ", settings
print ser.portstr
ser.open()
ser.flushInput()
ser.write("*debug\r\n")
x=ser.readline()
 
print "Read: ", x
ser.write("*stop\r\n")
ser.close()
ser.isOpen()
