ValueError: could not convert string to float: '511&511&511&511&511&232&164&0&0&0&0&0&0'

I am using the Prototype 1 Code for blender and when I am trying to run the code with a potentiometer as input, I am getting the following error

Read blend: C:\Users\Ruchit\Downloads\lucidgloves-blender-main\lucidgloves-blender-main\VRGloveDemo_Attempt2.blend
b'511&511&511&511&511&232&164&0&0&0&0&0&0\n'
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: could not convert string to float: '511&511&511&511&511&232&164&0&0&0&0&0&0'
Error: Python script failed, check the message in the system console

Please help ME!

This isn't a problem with lucidgloves firmware, rather it's something that needs to be fixed in the blender script. I'll leave this issue open to make sure I/someone fix it at some point.

in blender change this line :
lineTable = read.decode().split(',') to
lineTable = read.decode().split('&')

also check that the COM serial in line 6 is right:
ser = serial.Serial('COM4', '115200')

i had to change from COM4 to COM3

you can check which COM you need in arduino software under Tools

this can safely be closed right?
