In my last article, Python’s role in developing real-time embedded systems, I discussed some ways Python can be used in embedded development. One question that might have come to a readers’ mind is ...

Arduino microcontrollers have added Python to the range of compatible programming languages. Others can be used, and not just Arduino's own IDE app.

However, it was a challenge trying to teach my 10-year-old Arduino programming. That said, I observed he could zip through the Python tutorials on code academy pretty easily.

His code listens for serial commands and manipulates the motors accordingly. He wrote a Python script using pyserial which talks to the Arduino.

The Arduino team has also created a new Arduino Lab for MicroPython, offering coders and makes a simple, cross-platform IDE for MicroPython that supports any board with a serial REPL interface so ...

A Python script accepts incoming keypresses or pre-typed text, then converts them into a 6-bit binary code, which is sent to an Arduino over the serial connection.
