OOP is a concept that helps simplifying your code and eases application development. It is especially useful in reusing your code. Object-oriented code enables reusing your code for sensors that use the communications interface. For example, all sensors that are equipped with a UART port could be grouped together using object-oriented code.
One example of OOP is the GPIO Zero library (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/gpio-zero-a-friendly-python-api-for-physical-computing/) used in previous chapters. In fact, everything is an object in Python.
Object-oriented code is especially helpful in collaboration with other people on a project. For example, you could implement a sensor driver using object-oriented code in Python and document its usage. This enables other developers to develop an application without paying attention to the nitty-gritty detail behind the sensor's interface. OOP provides modularity to an application that simplifies application development. We are going to review...
