Serial

Sometimes when working on an Ardunio project, it is necessary to send data back and forth between a computer. Now, you could use something like the, which would send data over a network, but if you want something easy and free the simplest solution is USB communication.

There are several ways to approach Ardunio USB communication, but in this case we will be using on the computer side to send and receive information. As such, this instructable expects that you have some prior knowledge of Ardunio, and of Python (or other similar scripting language).

Pengetahuan Dasar Komunikasi serial pada Arduino. Posted by pccontrol. Untuk mengirim data dari arduino ke PC dan menerima data dari PC kita bisa menggunakan berbagai cara salah satunya yg paling sederhana adalah komunikasi Serial yg terdapat pada setiap board Arduino. Komunikasi serial digunakan oleh arduino untuk dapat berkomunikasi dengan komputer atau perangkat lain ( mikrokontroller lain, modul bluetooth, sensor berbasis serial, dll). Pada arduino, komunikasi serial terdapat pada pin TX/RX dan menggunakan tegangan logic TTL ( 5v atau 3.3v tergantung jenis arduinonya).

Python is a versatile, easy to learn, and easy to use scripting language. Its power, and huge library of user-created modules (everything from to ) makes it an ideal language for a wide verity of computer side tasks. You could easy parse network information and make an Arduino visualizer, create a game controller, or make a keypad computer login system. Arduino with Python opens up a word of possibilities. On the Computer side of things, we will be using a Python module called. PySerial, coincidentally, allows for the use of serial connections with Python.

Installing PySerial on Windows is a pretty simple process. Note: this 'ible assumes you have Python 2.* installed! If you do not, PySerial will still work, but you may need to change the code slightly to fit with the new standards. Hl 340 usb serial driver windows 7 download. To install on Windows, simply visit, download the Windows binary, and run it (at the time of writing, it's pyserial-2.7.win32.exe).

Afterwards, test your installation by opening up a new instance of the Python interpreter, and running: import serial. To initiate a connection with the Arduino from Python, we first have to figure out which COM Port the Arduino is on. This task is luckily made simple by the Ardunio programming environment. Simply look in the bottom right corner of your Arduino IDE, and you will see some text containing the COM Port number. We will use this to initiate our Python serial connection, like so: arduino = serial.Serial('COM1', 115200, timeout=.1) The above code will create a new serial object called 'ardunio' on 'COM1' with a '115200' and a.1 second timeout. It is extremely important that you keep the chosen baud-rate on hand, as it must match exactly with the baud-rate on the Ardiuno side of things.
