So while looking for some arduino assistance lastnight, i ran across some videos showing how to control an ardunio with python code..
All the videos i found where mostly showing you how to import the libraries into python to communicate with the board..
BUT i couldn't find anything specific to what the board needs in order to work.
I have done plenty of projects with arduinos and all my projects were coded in the arduino sketches..
So my question is, does the board still require a sketch to be uploaded to the board? and if so, what purpose would python play in communicating with the board?
I guess i just need to know if i need to build my whole project code in the sketch and upload to the board and then python is just used to get that data out easier and do something with it?
Just trying to wrap my head around the purpose of python with arduino..
Im not looking for any examples or help getting this to work.. just a simple explanation as to how or why i would want or need to use python with any of my arduino projects.
