We need to upload code to our Arduino in order to communicate with our Arduino using Python. Open the Anaconda Prompt and use the command below to create the virtual environment. In a previous post, we reviewed how to create a new virtual environment called (arduino). I have the Anaconda distribution of Python installed on my Windows 10 machine (see this post on how to install Anaconda on Windows). To complete this Python project, it is best practice to use a virtual environment. SparkFun RedBoard - Programmed with ArduinoĬreate a virtual environment and install PySerial Below is the list of hardware needed to complete the project: Component In this project, we are going to use a couple of pieces of hardware.
Twist the little blue potentiometer to turn the LED connected to the Arduino on and off.Upload the potentiometer.ino sketch to the Arduino.'Blink' the Arduino to confirm it is working.Connect the Arduino to the computer and check the COM port.Wire the potentiometer and an LED to the Arduino.Create a virtual environment and install PySerial.
