Python Flush Serial Port Buffer

Jul 27, 2020 serial.flush — This method will flush file-like objects. It also makes the port wait until all of the data is written. Serial.inwaiting — This method returns the number of bytes in the received buffer. Serial.outwaiting — This method returns the number of bytes in the output buffer.

I want a delay that will watch the Serial for keyboard input and break the delay. I found the following delay-part of “myDelay” function and added the “if (Ser…” to suit what I thought it should be.

I started out using “Serial.flush(” as per the Arduino instructions but after a frustrating hour finally found it no longer does what it says it should. OK, so then I went for “break” and that didn’t work, so then this and it still is not clearing the Serial buffer before exiting.

If it is waiting and I enter a single-Serial character it does what I want.
If I enter several characters as in “dddd” it will display four times rapidly indicating the Serial buffer is not empty when it arrives the next time around.

How can I flush the Serial input buffer of characters so that Break means break?

Hello, I'm new in python. I use an Arduino to sensing, and I wrote a small python program to read the data from usb. I use Python 3.5. The program is this:
When I execute it, I get only the first sentence repeatedly of what Arduino sends, not the rest of of the calculations. So I suppose I should flush the Serial buffer. When I flush the serial with the command flushInput() as I read from here: http://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest...l_api.html
I get:
flushInput()
NameError: name 'flushInput' is not defined

Hello and welcome to Python and our forums!
There seems to be a little change in API, see if this will fix your error:

Thank you,
I changed the command, but I still get:
I cannot understand! I import serial and time. What is wrong?

You need to do
reset_input_buffer() is a method of Serial class.

You read one line, then enter an infinite loop and print that one line repeatedly. If you want to read more lines, do the reading inside the while loop.

Thank you both your help. It works now. But it prints Escape characters with the data. Is there a way to avoid that?
