Monitor output of application/ serial port in python
I am currently trying to monitor when a vibration is send to my wireless (Bluetooth) xbox controller, but, since the controller itself does not contain a "getVibration" method in its api (XInput) nor stores whether it's vibrating in any way, I am having a hard time to get this information. It seems to me that there are two options. First, I could monitor the source (in my case a Game) that sends the vibration commands to my controller and second, I could monitor (sniff on) the serial port of the controller. I tried using pyserial but have had no luck so far. I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me in the right direction!

Welcome to SO! What have you tried so far? We're much more here to help with specific questions of the form "I tried X, but it did not do what I expect and instead resulted in an error!" accompanied by a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
