Basic Python in / output

Im interested in writing a python program that reads a value over the Analog input pin and displays that value on screen and also outputs a mapped value of that to the Digital Output (PWM) pin.
How can these pins be accessed through python?

thank you so much

 

Use firmara / pyfirmara to collect the analogue values and control the pwm pin , and use python for the high level logic and programming .

 

thanks peter! do you have any examples or websites you can recommend?

 

The big advantage of firmata is its universal , so any web site about firmata for the raspberry pi , beaglebone etc will work on the udoo because you are just controlling the arduino.

Search for firmata and you will come up with many examples and the document how to use it with python .

after you have set it up you will find you need to make a config file to tell firmata what port you have on the board because by default firmata only supports mega or the old standard arduino , Which I`ve made is the want it .

 

thank you!

would the RPi.GPIO library work aswell? has anyone tried that yet?

this way you could leave the arduino part out of the game ?

 

The best way is to use the arduino for control , because of it`s advantage of better current handling of the pins plus the imx6 side doesn`t have any adc built in so you how to use the arduino side for adc .

NO , the raspberry pi gpio library will only work on machine using the same hardware chip , you would need a library for the imx6 .
The basic way to control them should be the same or similar , because it`s kernel level.

 

thank you! but how can i install pyfirmata on android?

 

Have a search for :- "firmata android" and there are some programs which controls a arduino using firmata for android , but to do honest I have no idea how to install python or even if it is installed by default on android .
