[Tutor] how to read over serial port

[shawn bright]

Hey all, thanks for all the help.
I will go out in the morning and check all the equipment, have heard
too much advice from too many with  python experience to ignore the
fact that something is likely screwed up in my settings or baudrate.
will be back in touch later as i check it out.
