The image shows the error when running the following code.

I ran the code in raspberry pi 3 with NOOBS OS. I tried this link.

The error says.. OSError: [Errorno 16] Device or resource busy: '/dev/ttyS0' and that 'During handling the above expression another error occured' Kindly someone help me..I'm working on the project IoT based Heart rate monitoring system using Raspberry Pi3 and having only 2 days to complete the project..

  • What error? Put it in your question. People are reluctant to have to view an image to find the error message.

  • The error is providing you with a clue: "device or resource busy" means that something else is already using the serial port. It is very likely that your OS is using the serial port as a console. This article discusses the necessary steps to disable the system console and free up the port for other uses.
