Experimenting with #telemetrix, a Python tool for serial comms with an #Arduino board (replacing #pyfirmata). Trying out rotary encoders...
The sketch-a-day archives and tip jar are at: https://abav.lugaralgum.com/sketch-a-day Code for this: https://github.com/villares/sketch-a-day/tree/main/2026/sketch_2026_05_28 #Processing #Python #py5 #CreativeCoding

The #Arduino homepage is so bloated now it crashes my browser, it's amazing!

On other news, I'm going to try switching fom #firmata / #pyfirmata to #telemetrix (https://mryslab.github.io/telemetrix/) let's see how it goes...

Also, our recurrent reminder that the origins of Arduino are more interesting that what is usually reported: https://arduinohistory.github.io/ #Wiring

Today #Python's monkey patching saved my day!

I need this old library #pyfirmata and it uses inspect.getargspec which was deprecated (since Python 3.0?) and then removed after Python 3.10...

Came across this tool for connecting to Arduino using Py.

So... #Python #py5 with #Arduino and #PyFirmata is something I've been working with for a long time... maybe I'll make a https://github.com/villares/lousa-magica #zine :))

Bueno, a ver…

¿Alguien tiene algún programita de ejemplo en #python para que me familiarice con la librería #pyfirmata? Ya he instalado el sketch en la #arduino, y funciona desde un programita de ejemplo que hay para windows, pero todavía no he sido capaz de hablarme con la arduino en linux.
