You're assigning to 'ser' inside OpenPort(), but then trying to use it
in WriteSerialData(). You'll need to declare 'global ser' in OpenPort
to make this work.

Alternatively, you may want to cut down on the number of functions you
have, since they're called in only one place anyway and have to share
state.
