Motor controller

 of course, indeed I meant the pizero tx output is probaby bad, from what I get from your measurements. Is it possible that you have misconnected it in an earlier prototyping stage?

ok thank you for clarifying phiew! since the volt meter did not change during the while statement and putty froze i think i am going to assume that my pi zero is fried or something and will find a new one...
there is defiantly a chance i might have misconnected it before coming to this forum as i had no idea what was being put out on it, the 5volts vs 3.3 volts, etc. there is a chance i might have hooked it up right to a motor controller. though cannot recall right now as this has been a year in the making lol i dropped it over the summer and revisited once covid started ramping up over the holidays again and the temp dropped. there is also a chance i might have accidentally fried it during soldering pins onto the board....
thank you will back in a few days once i get a new board!

Yes that statement would hang until 1 no longer equals 1 , or until you hit ^c

ohh i thought that the done word in the statement ended the line of code, great thank you!

out of curiosity since it will take a few days for an order of a pi zero to come in,
can i try this on the pi 4? so take my memory card from the zero put it in the pi4, and wire it up the same per my sketch? it looks like the pin outs are the same?!?
