Arduino Read Integer From Serial
Hello Everyone, I am trying to enter single digit integer number through Arduino serial monitor. Code is given below. It does reads the integer as I can see it on serial monitor but prints -38 with every value which I am trying to read through serial monitor. I am trying to read a serial string which comes through as 'R0123' for example then I need the 0123 to be in an int. To send out through another method Here is my code it is not working the way th. Summing up, this application will read and write through serial port. When I send something to the Arduino, I need to receive something from it to finish up what I've sent and execute the command. In other words, I will send something so see if the door is opened, if it is the application will run a code to close it.

parseInt()
Description
parseInt() returns the first valid (long) integer number from the serial buffer. Characters that are not integers (or the minus sign) are skipped.
In particular:
- Initial characters that are not digits or a minus sign, are skipped;
- Parsing stops when no characters have been read for a configurable time-out value, or a non-digit is read;
- If no valid digits were read when the time-out (see Serial.setTimeout()) occurs, 0 is returned;
Serial.parseInt() inherits from the Stream utility class.
Syntax
Serial.parseInt()
Serial.parseInt(char skipChar)
Parameters
skipChar: used to skip the indicated char in the search. Used for example to skip thousands divider.
Returns
long

I am sending integer value from arduino and reading it in Python using pyserial The arduino code is:
Download and install firefox browser. And the pyserial is:
But it doesn't print anything except blank spaces Does anyone knows how to read this integer passed from arduino in Python?

You probably need to use a start bit.
The problem might be that the arduino has already written the integer by the time pyserial is running?
So write a character from pyserial to arduino to signal start like
And write the integer from the arduino once you get this start bit.
That is the not the right way to read an Integer from Arduino. Integer is a 32-bit type while your serial port would be set to EIGHTBITS(Both in pyserial and Arduino. Correct me if I'm wrong) in byte size, therefore you have to write the Character version of the Integer from Arduino while transmitting it through a Serial Port because a Character takes only EIGHTBITS in size which is also the convenient way to do the stuff that you need to, very easily.
Arduino Read Integer From Serial
Long story short, convert your Integer into a String or a Character Array before transmitting. (Chances are there are inbuilt functions available for the conversion).

On a side note here is the correct python code that you'd prefer to use:
