HELP :'(

the_future
the_future over 7 years ago

Coding Arduino in Python but got an error and have no idea why please help me

 

My Code:

 

 

import serial                                 # add Serial library for Serial communication

 

 

Arduino_Serial = serial.Serial('com4',9600)  #Create Serial port object called arduinoSerialData

print Arduino_Serial.readline()               #read the serial data and print it as line

print ("Enter 1 to ON LED and 0 to OFF LED")

 

 

while 1:                                      #infinite loop

    input_data = raw_input()                  #waits until user enters data

    print "you entered", input_data           #prints the data for confirmation

  

    if (input_data == '1'):                   #if the entered data is 1

        Arduino_Serial.write('1')             #send 1 to arduino

        print ("LED ON")

     

  

    if (input_data == '0'):                   #if the entered data is 0

        Arduino_Serial.write('0')             #send 0 to arduino

        print ("LED OFF")

    Some refer to '{}" as curly brackets, so I suppose '()' could be something like happy-sad face brackets. I still refer to '#' as the pound symbol due to my Unix background; '#!' = Pound Bang To each is…

    Since the "python setup.py install" seems to be working, probably your Python 2.7 environment is correctly set up. On the other hand, the error you get using the "python3 ..." command is a strong indicator…

    Nice.  Sometimes it's easier to just change the PATH and/or PYTHONPATH to only have the version of Python you would like to use, but it's good to see you resolved the issue.

    so please if anyone has any suggestions or improvements I am very open to learning

     

    also what libraries do you think i would need in python, I think i would need:

     

    *pyserial

    *pybrain

    ......and others like speech recognition and something or audio or speech to text conversion

    and more maybe ????

    Hi,

     

    It sounds interesting.

     

    I suggest you post your request for suggestions/help either as a new discussion thread or, better still, as a blog post. Using a single discussion thread for more than one topic can create confusion, and you might end up missing out on valuable comments because people overlooked the thread.
