Hi all, I'm using arduino for a while now. For my purposes I was using matalb to communicate with it. I want to move to python now. I started building my first python gui to control my arduino program. The problem: I'm trying to pass a sentence which contains python's entry values to arduino, but for some reason the arduino doesn't read it. The codes are written here. Arduino code #define LED 13 void setup() {   pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);   pinMode(2,OUTPUT);   Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() {   if (Serial.available()) {     char c = Serial.read();     if (c == 'H') {       digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);       digitalWrite(2,HIGH);     }     else if (c == 'L') {       digitalWrite(LED, LOW);       digitalWrite(2,LOW);     }   } } Python code from tkinter import * import serial import time ser = serial.Serial('com7', 9600)  # com7 need to be changed for linux ^%&*^$%&$%&$%^&###@@@ time.sleep(0.2) # ser.close() print('serial communication started') def pent(ard):     s = entry1.get()     c = bytes(s, 'utf-8')     ard.write(c)     time.sleep(0.5)     # ard.write(b'H')  # the b before 'H' is conversion to bytes. needed for arduino.     print("LED ON")     time.sleep(0.5)     ard.write(b'L')     print("LED OFF")     time.sleep(0.5) root = Tk() RTitle = root.title("LaserOdorPython") root.minsize(200, 200) root.maxsize(1400, 850) root.geometry("300x500") label1 = Label(root, text='Odor#\Laser', font=11) entry1 = Entry(root) label1.place(x=10, y=20, width=90, height=20); entry1.place(x=120, y=20, width=90, height=20) button1 = Button(root, text='single pulse', font=8, command=lambda: pent(ser)) button1.place(x=100, y=140, width=90, height=30) root.mainloop()  

We are re-making Monty sketches as a tribute to Grahm Chapman. Any suggestions for classic sketches from Flying Circus?

I am currently attempting an Interactive Fiction game in Python (when I am finished I plan to write an instructable detailing how I did it). The only problem I have run into is the parser. I want to be able to specify a syntax for a command, and have the parser be able to recognize when the command is being input regardless of the arguments passed to it, as well as be able to extract the arguments from the inputted command. This would not be so much of a problem if there were not both one-argument and two-argument commands, and the fact that "throw x to y" is a different command than, say, "throw x at y". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was just wondering about the sort of things you can do with these two.  I know you can use at least JS when building webpages, but I don't really enjoy that sort of thing when I code.  Are there other uses for these?  Also, is it true that robots can be programmed with Python?  Thank you very much for an answer.

Heya everybody; Just got permanently done with schoolin', and now that I have free time again I'd like to start making some slicker interfaces for some of the open-source design tools out there (for PCB design, CAD, FEA). I know its an ambitious project; but its a long-term goal. Tried a couple different programming languages, and so far Python seems like the most flexible and powerful. Figure I should start messing around with GUI libraries. So the question: Which of the myriad options would you recommend for GUI creation from Python? The end result I am going for is something along the lines of the computer screens in "Iron Man" series, preferably with support for vector graphics. Example of the desired style shown below. Suggestions/advice? Also, anyone interested in collaborating on this, let me know!

I just built a small CNC machine to add to my workshop and was wondering if anyone has the build plans for a colt python. I would like to build an all wooden 1:1 scale replica, swing out cylinder and all. I spent hours scouring the Internet, and have found nothing of a suitable quality. So, anyone got a .dxf file(s) I can work with, or at least some accurate drawings I can take measurements from? Thanks in advance.

I am making a pair of boots that have a series of LEDs running in a “U” shape up and down the back of them, the plan is to make them light up with pressure sensors In the heel. I’ve taken components from several tutorials to make the circuit but now I am realizing that’s going to make it impossible to just copy and paste the code (with only a few minor changes) from any of them. I’m trying to learn python but I learn best from doing (with knowledgeable help). I will pay someone whatever hourly rate they think is fair to walk me through how to edit a prewritten code (unless it’s easier to start from scratch) to work with this project. I’ve listed below the materials I am currently planning on using in the circuit WS2812B LED chips With Black PCB Heatsink (10mm3mm) WS2811 IC Built-in 5050 SMD RGB DC5V, 0.3w/led, 3 channel, color order is grb, not rgb- link listed below https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DC0J3UM?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image Adafruit flora LiPo 3.7v 1200mAh battery Conductive thread On/off button Velostat

My computer science teacher was wanting to buy a set of robots. the boe-bot and the scribbler bot. All of us are really skilled in java. could they be programmed with that? He's more or less appointed me as his adviser to this venture, and i'd like to hear frome someone who's had some experience I'm also an arduino freak and i was wondering if python could have anything to do with that.

I want to learn python and C++ but I want a couple of good books to learn those with. What books do I need if I want to start?

I need to know how to see if files(like .txt files) are empty with python and how to create new files(like the ones you store pics and .txt files in) and how to move files(like .txt) into the files you just created Thanks in advance for any answers!

 How do i make a random generator with parameters using python? My goal is to use python to tell me what t-shirt to wear. but  i don't want to wear the same shirt more than once a week.  I figure you're allowed to make brain processing light in the morning :P btw i'm a beginner so i want to learn but still get the product.

i want to create a simple program that can be told information and learn from it, also i want the program to be able to respond to questions asked of it about the things it knows does anybody know where to start?

Hello sir, Running Python script at boot works fine with crontab, only thing is that I am stuck to it. How to come out of it ?How to stop it. Cntr+C does not work

I have a ball python and i am trying to raise the humidity in his tank, i have a large water dish over a UTH and i have paper over half of the mesh top (quick fix, i need to get plastic wrap). i would mist his tank, but i am not home enough to do it consistantly,  would putting a piece of sea sponge sitting in a dish of water be healthy or would it be detrimental to Howard's health?

I am preparing a master class to present to a group of Technical Artists# at work. Everyone in the group has previously programmed in C/C++/MEL/MAXScript/Python. The purpose of the class is to collectively bring everyone's skill levels and technical understanding on variety of Computer Data Science topics to a common level.I would like some advice as this first time I've delivered such a class. I am planning on structuring the course to be two 2 hour sessions, with 30 minute blocks of content interspersed with Q&A;, code-review, and individual assistance. I know this a multi-part question, so don't feel you need to be able answer everything, just contribute what you can. Any links to articles, SO questions, or reflection on personal learning experiences is greatly appreciated. Questions/Advice/Links to Further Reading- What CS topics should I attempt to cover?- Examples of other Python training courses? - What do you wish someone taught you when you first started programming?- Python programming best-practices- Tips for delivering technical content to creative/artist audience? Using Dive Into Python as a textbook and referencing the MIT Open Courseware Introduction to Computer Science on Academic Earth. I have also been given a 2 minute overview on adult training (Malcolm Knowles), i.e., working the students through the cycle of: identify the problem, determine the cause, researching a solution, and applying.

Hello everyone, I have been trying to interface ServoBlaster on my pi, and have ran into an issue. I am a a beginner with Python, and so that may be the reason, but what my issue is: I can't find/figure out how to write a script for controlling software! All i find is how to control GPIO Pins via a python script for WebIOPi. With all the looking i have done, i haven't seen a guide, tutorial, or project involving interfacing software. All i find is how to write a program for the pins themselves, and not a command. What i would need to do, is instead of turning on or off a pin, the python script would run a command.  So, how would i write a script in python for WebIOPi that doesn't make a GPIO pin high or low, but instead runs a command such as 'echo P1-12=120 > /dev/servoblaster'? 

I have been thinking about this for a long time: An insctructables version of pong.  I would like some help with it possible positions include: -Someone to download a bunch of famous instructablers profiles (Like lemonine and fungus amungus and kiteman (probably spelled all of their names wrong)) -A Java programmer to help me make an android and/or iphone/ipad app out of it. -A couple python programmers because the main language im going to do it in is python. -Possibly graphic designers. If you have any interest leave a comment or send me a message or an owl or a pigeon or use your preferred method of communication.

Does anyone on instructables use kivy? I am wondering if people use kivy, and if they do can they tell me how they like it? Please comment.

Hai, iam working on dimmer light project with raspberry pi the module which iam using from research design lab issues with the device to test or run it. please any one can suggest me can i change the module to wifi based dimmer module to test or run the light dimmer. thank u

Looking for a few coders to help make a better 3d system based on the pi and arduino. apps available will incclude: 3d printing tool usage CNC 3d scanning and more to come I have next to NO experience in coding but have designed and tested 2 machines that I need programmers for. these will be opensource at the end and also sellable. I am hoping to make a store similiar to playstore or app store so that advanced programmers can also make a small amount for exceptional products. the idea is huge but could be beneficial to several thousand people including users of this forum in helping them with techniques and skills they have not yet mastered. the project is HUGE and the mechanical side is largely done with the exception of a few parts that are added extra. other inclusions will be safety features and high perfomance. for those that are interested in this AND have coding experience I look forward to your replies on this topic

I just got a Ball Python. I got him on Saturday, August 14. I decided to name him monster. He is a very very calm (probably scared) snake. Considering snakes are somewhat new to my family, I want tips on how to care, and train my new snake. I have uploaded pictures.

I am using Blender quite extensively right now, and I would like to be able to import and export md5 models. Unfortunately, Blender does not do this natively, so I had to find and download a Python script. That's when the trouble started. I am new to Python, so I have no idea where to properly place the scripts and how to run them. After some searching, I believe I located the correct folder: Blender/contents/MacOS/2.57/scripts Within this folder are 5 folders. They are as follows: -addons -modules -presets -startup -templates There is also a python folder in the 2.57 folder which contains a library for scripts, but I believe these are for python itself rather than Blender. The files I am trying to install are as follows: -blender2md5_v0.94-sauer3.py -md5-0.5.py -md5Import_0.5.1.py I tried opening each of these in terminal to attempt to 'install' them, but got this message: File "/Applications/blender-2.57-release-OSX_10.5_i386/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/2.57/scripts/modules/md5Import_0.5.1.py", line 33, in import Blender ImportError: No module named Blender (I did not include some command lines because they contain my name and my computer's name.) What am I doing wrong? Where do I put these files? Is there something wrong with the filenames? Do I have to do anything fancy to get them to run in Blender? Any help is appreciated! I am running Blender 2.57 on Mac OSX v. 10.6.7 

Hello everybody, I am working on a project idea and would like some input from the community. the goal of this project is to be able to use a tote that will a smart one. so we will use a "smart tote". the goal of the "smart tote" is to reproduce the entire conveyor system that exist in any given building. let say we will put the tote on the fisrt conveyor and as the tote is going down the lane I want to be able to retrace it on my computer as a drawing following its step along the way. does anybody could suggest the best way to do that. I would like to use python and integrate some data science technique as well( but that I could figure out).Thank you,Martial

Over the course of a few weeks, I have been programming a robot (called a Finch), to respond to commands from a Wii remote. I planned to use a raspberry pi to run the code so i could make it more mobile. I wrote a program in Java that lets me control movement with the arrow keys, and other keys like A, S, D, Q, W, R, F, J, K, L, M, do other things like change the LED color or make it say something. After I finished that, I wrote some python code that uses the CWiid library. I tested the code on the pi, and it works, its just that I don't know how to use it to send input that my Java program can use.

I have been very thoroughly FAILING at learning python, everything i can find on it is either far out of my league or doing something completely different than what i need THIS is what i need A single square button that when pressed sends a bit of "1" over serial to an arduino uno nothing fancy,just a skeleton script allowing me to do that and HOPEFULLY figure this whole button concept out and please, if you do decide to help me, please comment on the  various lines just  briefly telling what they do, so many of the codes ive looked at arn't very descriptive in their commenting.

Hi all, If you are looking for a way to be notified when one of your instructables gets a spike in more views, I wrote couple different python command line apps for that exact purpose. The first displays a visual notification, speaks and announcement, and plays a beep whenever your tutorial gets X more views. You can customize X. The second uses email notifications instead of text to speech. The third command line app lets you customize the notification ringtone. Hope you find this useful! There'a a full tutorial here:  https://www.instructables.com/id/Instructable-Hit-Announcer-Bot/

Hello all,So I have been trying to convert the values obtained from pygame joystick value (ranges from -1 to 1) and convert it to angles between 0 to 180 to drive servo motors. Can someone help me with this cuz I have no idea how to do it. Thanks in advanceCheers.

At the moment we're working on an interactive led screen wall for the entrance hall of our new studio. I've setup the following frame (http://i66.tinypic.com/33ll30j.jpg)  with 17meters of WS2812B addressable led strips.We're using the Neopixel library for rasp (https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x) and it works like a charm with the rasp 3. Anyway they next step is to control these ledstrips so they work as one big display. I had a look on the internet and a lot of people advices to work with the FadeCandy from Adafruits but I want to know if there are other solutions using only Python and write software to control the ledstrips. The purpose is to use the rasp's camera module like this guy did http://andydoro.com/ledmirror/images/stills/ledmirror01.jpg so when someone is entering the room, his reflection appears on the wall... Any information / tips / other solutions about how to achieve what I described above are welcome. Thanks

Hello and my heartiest greetings to all reading this,I have this old Nokia Lumia 540 and was wondering whether I could replace the OS with something like the Raspbian to use it with python and utilize all the cool stuff already there in the phone. Is that sort of thing possible?I am totally new to this stuff and hence have no idea about any of it. Please help me out.Cheers. :)

I am making a Computer Butler in Python I Know how to program it I just need to know what other people would like a computer butler to do for them. note: when I say "Computer Butler" I mean a program on your computer that you tell what to do and it does it for instance: Master: Hello Butler how are you Hello master I am good, Thank you Master: can you open a file for me Of coarse, What file would you like to open?  Master: Chrome (Chrome opens) thank you all in advance for any answers. Once my butler is finished I will try to make a instructable on making it

Hi community,I'm prototyping a 6-DOF Stewart Platform, i.e. a parallel mechanism also known as hexapod, with an embedded resistive touchscreen on its top plate that captures the current position of a ball moving on it. Coordinates are stored by Arduino Due and sent via serial to a Python script which elaborates data, computes inverse kinematics and outputs the 6 servo angles (again via serial port) to Arduino that, finally, moves the arms. As you can notice, velocity is obtained by a one-side differentiator and here it comes my first question: how much should be the sampling step? It takes 124 microseconds for Arduino to execute both the "AnalogRead" functions, but coordinates are stored in Python at a different clock (order of one millisecond). I picked sampling step h (see attachment 2) equal to the computational time of the Python script, with decent results, but still I'm not convinced.My second issue regards tuning of the PD controller: I first described the system with a double-integrator transfer function (from assumptions and simplifications over ball&plate; control) but the obtained controller parameters were far from the optimal ones. Therefore a simplified model of motor dynamics was added to the transfer function and new PD constants were implemented: simulation and real behaviors are far from being identical (high delay, not null steady-state error, higher rise time, etc.); however, inside small ranges of error and with reduced velocity, the ball reaches an equilibrium basin. The third attachment depicts the final transfer function where:- K is K_m*K_ball*g (K_m:motor gain constant, K_ball: ball inertia, g: gravitational force)- T is tau_m: motor time constant;I set K_m and tau_m equals to torque (Kg*m) and velocity (rad/s) respectively, according to servomotors datasheet: is this the right choice?Thanks to everyone for even reading and for any upcoming help.

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to coding on a raspberry pi and would like some help with an issue I am having.I am currently using a raspberry pi to view a live preview of the pi cam directly onto a screen. I would like to link the Pi to a Bluetooth button such as the flic button, so that when pressed, it would take an image using a python script. I have installed the flic SDK for Linux and have detected and connected to the button to view it's MAC address. I am unsure of how to proceed after this to allow the button to interact with a python script, so my question is what is the best way to proceed to do what i'm trying to achieve?. Any help would be much appreciated.

Pygame is a python module that makes it easy to make games. I made pong game and a Patriot command remake. The pygame home page is http://pygame.org. My Patriot command home page is http://patriotcommand.yolasite.com and http://www.pygame.org/project-Patriot+Command-1394-2708.htm Im looking for some feedback on the game you need python and pygame installed in order to play it in a little while I will upload a app that works on intel macs 10.5 and up. The source works on macs and pcs and should work with linux computers also. Has anyone else made a pygame. I attached the source in a 7-zip archive.     At the title screen press enter to start a game. Enter will take you from any screen to the next. I cant upload the mac version because it is 14mb and instructables doesn't let you upload more than 10.
