Arduino python serial communication tutorial


















I love the combination of Python and the Arduino. So I have created a collection about it. Tnx, man! Now i have ;-. I didn't think this was able to be done. I've never done anything with python before but this is a great idea! Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm making a second tutorial as we speak on how to create a webserver in python so that we can control our arduino remotely from our phone or another computer.

Save the piece of code below to a file named pyduino. This library only supports a few of the functions that the arduino has. Did you make this project? In the serial communication channel shown in the figure above, 8-bit information is transmitted through one channel, one bit at a time.

At the other hand, the parallel channel makes use of 8 channels to transfer the 8-bit information all at the same time. Both serial and parallel communication protocols have their cons and pros, however, serial communication protocol takes the lead as it appears today. One of the advantages of serial over parallel communication is the number of lines used. A serial communication uses only one communication channel, hence one data line.

You must need wires for power and ground, as well as clock signal if needed. We will discuss more on serial and parallel data transfer in the future. Arduino can communicate with a PC as we already know from our first Arduino tutorial , when we uploaded our first Arduino sketch to the Arduino board.

In this tutorial however, we are going to have a real-time communication over serial between Arduino and the PC, also, we are going to have a real-time communication between Arduino board and python integrated development environment IDLE.

Arduino communication with a PC is a half-duplex communication. This means that both devices can transmit information to each other but not simultaneously. When arduino is transmitting, the PC will be receiving, and when the PC is transmitting, arduino will be receiving, but not both at the same time. See code below, copy and paste the code and run it on your Arduino IDE. When the sketch is done uploading, click on the tools button, then click on serial monitor, you will see data printing on the serial window every one second.

See image below. TX means transmit while RX means receive. Using the same circuit we used for the previous exercise, all you need to do is copy the code below in your Arduino IDE and upload. Line 5 is a function used to setup baud rate communication between the Arduino board and the computer. The common baud rate is , but you can choose something other than that, make sure that the baud rate you choose in the sketch concurs with baud rate you chose on the serial monitor.

Line 12 code checks the value stored in the variable num. We want to send numbers from the keyboard to the Arduino, which will be sent as char type of data.

From the ASCII table shown below, we can see that the numbers that can be represented as char are numbers from 0 to 9. So, if I pressed one 1 on the keyboard, that one 1 is equal to 49 as a char since we are receiving the data as char. The earlier is an assignment operator, while the latter is an equality sign in computer programming.

So, if the condition is true, the code in the curly bracket in lines 16 to 19 will be executed. If it is equal to 2, the code in lines 23 to 26 will be executed. When you upload the code and open the serial monitor console, if you press 1 on your keyboard followed by the enter key, the LED connected to pin 13 of the Arduino will come ON and a text will be displayed on the serial console window telling you that you pressed 1 and pin 13 is ON.

If you press 2 on the keyboard followed by the enter key, the LED connected to pin 13 will go OFF, and a text will be displayed on the serial console window also telling you that you pressed 2 and pin 13 is OFF. If you are not getting any error, it means you installed it correct, else you can check your installation. We can simply see in which port our Arduino is on.

This project finds its application in debugging any embedded systems, communication to any household or any industrial devices. A robotics enthusiast or hobbyist is expected to implement these to their projects with ease.

For them, I would suggest our upcoming course on robotics by Dr. Arun Dayal Udai on his Youtube channel. Please log in or sign up to comment. Easily connect Arduino boards at a great distance over RS with Visuino. This is using the laser transmitter and receiver to communicate, and using the Morse code given by the laser transmitter to the receiver.
