Let's start simply downloading a ZIP file for Mac OS X from the official Arduino website. Simply said we’re going to send a very simple signal with a Python script to the Arduino LED - just a signal to turn an LED on or off like this.īe noted this tutorial can be applied on any other Linux based system or Windows too. To make it real we will need these mentioned above anyway, but just partially.
The idea behind this step-by-step explanation was to make some exercise and to find the way how to control Arduino not directly with Arduino IDE software and it's a subset of the C/C++ standard library language, but control it with Python script. In this introduction, I have worked with an older version of Arduino Nano without having any other hardware parts or LEDs to plugged in.
