[Year 12 SofDev] Python and Arduino (Physical Computing) what do I need.

[Guy Flaherty]

Hi Daryl,

Taking a quick look at the requirements you should be able to use either python 2.7 or python 3.4. You are most likely going to want to use pyserial 2.7 to communicate with the Arduino. It looks pretty straightforward to get working. After that the libraries you will need depend on what direction you want to actually go.

This link: http://playground.arduino.cc/Interfacing/Python has a some examples of what you can do and some tips.

Kind regards,
Guy Flaherty
