Pyqt Real Time Display Of Serial Port Data Throwing Maximum Recursion Depth Exceeded Exception On Qtcore.qtimer.singleshot()

My application scenario: Read continues data (realtime) from serial port and display on PyQt GUI and also store data in csv file. I have tried to use While loop. <-- which does

Solution 1:

As per one of the comment I have tried above with out any parameter and the issue resolved. use captureSensorData instead of captureSensorData(file)
