in thread r/w attached infrared head on /dev/ttyUSB0

change 1.300 to 1.3000000

Since I don't see any timeouts set up, I doubt that trying to read 3 megabytes instead of 300 bytes from the port would make a difference... the OP's expected result is somewhere around 200 bytes long.

    I didnt see where it was said the perl program was killed either, and so the loop of 300 must have terminated. So i wondered if there were non printing characters being returned while the device was processing. A larger "window" might show results after some period of time.
