This project is supposed to give anyone who wants to control their Arduino with Python an easy process setting up. The project provide a Python class that contains useful functions to get started. It also contains a visualizer class for showcasing stored data acquired from the Arduino. More functionality and classes will be implimented in later versions.
You will need Python 3 and Arduino IDE for using the provided files. Also you will need to install dependencies listed below.
pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt
or
pip install pyserial==3.4
pip install matplotlib==2.2.2
pip install pandas==0.23.0
pip install drawnow==0.72.0Clone or download project as zip in any directory. Create a new python script within the directory, import the provided classes and start programming.
In /example you will find some example scripts, for both Arduino and Python.
- Reading data
from arduino import Arduino
arduino = Arduino()
arduino.connect("COM4", 9600)
arduino.getData()- Storing data in file
from arduino import Arduino
filename = "measurements.csv"
arduino = Arduino()
arduino.createLogfile(filename, ("A", "B", "C"))
arduino.connect("COM4", 9600)
while arduino.isConnected():
data = arduino.getData()
arduino.logToFile(filename, data)
if arduino.getTimeElapsed() > 10:
arduino.disconnect()
- Storing data in file and presenting it in a line graph
from arduino import Arduino
from visualize import Visualize
arduino = Arduino()
filename = "ultrasonic_readings.csv"
arduino.createLogfile(
filename, ("Time", "Value"))
arduino.connect("COM4", 115200)
while arduino.isConnected():
data = arduino.getData()
arduino.logDataWithTime(filename, data)
arduino.delay(0.1)
# Ending measurement sampling after 10 sec
if arduino.getTimeElapsed() > 10:
arduino.disconnect()
data_presenter = Visualize()
dataset = data_presenter.collectData(filename)
figure = data_presenter.plot(dataset["Time"], dataset["Value"])
data_presenter.savePlot(figure, "Output.png")
If you want to contribute or find anything wrong, please create a Pull request, or issue adressing the change, or issue.
