[Tkinter] Tkinter widgets driving Arduino uno output pins
#1
Program is partial working. I am able to turn pin 13 on and off. What I am trying to do is have "true" feed back when the pin changes state. I am trying to send pin 13 status ("1" or "0") to a tkinter label widget in python (below the "Exit" button) If I run using Arduino serial monitor everything works correctly. I get the text "Hello" and when I push the on button I get a "1" (no quotes) and when I push the off button I get a "0" (no quotes). Pushing Exit quits the program. Since I wrote this I am now getting "PY_VAR1 in my label field. I believe this is a python problem, I will also post to Arduino. Thanks for you help in advance
