First love with python

First love with python
A couple of things to do before we could start to write *.py code on a windows machine.

1. Download python from http://www.python.org/getit/
2. Install the msi file python-2.7.3.msi
3. Download pyserial from http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/pyserial.html
4. Install the exe file pyserial-2.5.win32.exe
5. More about the pyserial (good stuff to use with ARDUINO) later

After downloading the necessary files to run python, now is code time~

1. Create a notepad file, rename it to *.py.
2. Type some simple code, e.g print ‘Hello World’
3. Start CMD
4. Set path for using python compiler
5. enjoy

Sample method to exe py, set path, navigate to the *.py folder, exe.
The “hello world” equivalent .
Install of pySerial. This will be the communication bridge between the arduino and python script.

1. On the Arduino, create a code that send “Hello world” to computer over serial
2. On the computer, create a code that detects the intended message and exe some conditional code.

code here~~

Some might ask why python?
Still remember my last experiment using arduino with java over serial?
This is why…….
