The script works for LINUX OS To make it work for WINDOWS, change port argument to a serial COM port For example: ser = serial.Serial(port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate = 4800) change to ser = serial.Serial(port='COM5', baudrate = 4800) NOTE: COM5 chosen for this example but it could be any number determined by your machine. Make sure you have the right serial port number o/w will not work
