In this chapter, you learned important methods that are required to successfully interface the Arduino board with Python. You were also introduced to various prototyping code templates with practical applications. These prototyping templates helped us to learn new Python programing paradigms and Firmata methods. Later in the chapter, we dived further into prototyping by learning more about the different ways of establishing communication between sensors and the Arduino board. Although we covered a vast amount of programming concepts with these prototyping examples, the goal of the chapter was to make you familiar with the interfacing problems and provide quick recipes for your projects.

We are assuming that by now you are comfortable testing your sensors or project prototypes using Python and Arduino. It's time to start working towards creating your applications that have complex Python features such as user controls, charts, and plots. In the next chapter, we are going to develop...
