Description The Anaconda is a moderate performance, low power embedded computer designed on a standard EBX form factor.

Linux Debian 6. Note that although we installed PySerial with the command conda install pyserial , we import PySerial using the line import serial. The next step is to download the Arduino IDE. A sketch is the name given to Arduino programs.

Arduino sketches end in the. Be sure to select: Windows ZIP file for non-admin install if you don't have the administrator privileges to install software on the computer you're using. Extract the downloaded. Take out an LED any color , a Ohm resistor, three jumper wires red, yellow and black , the Arduino, and a white breadboard.

Connect the LED, resistor, and colored jumper wires as shown below. Note the LED has two different sized "legs. Current can only flow in one direction through an LED. Connect the Arduino to the computer using a USB cable. One end of the cable looks like a regular USB cable. Connect that end to the computer.

The other end of the cable has a small connector that sort of looks like a phone charging cable, but a little different.

Connect this smaller end of the cable to the Arduino. We will need to know which COM Port the Arduino is connected to when we upload code to the Arduino or attempt to communicate with the Arduino. You can use the Windows Device Manager to determine which serial port the Arduino is connected to. It is the COM that you are looking for.

Your COM is likely to be different. Open the Arduino Blink. Once the upload is complete, the Arduino and LED should blink on and off. If you don't see the Arduino and LED blinking, you need to do some troubleshooting. Also check the wiring. Ensure the two LED "legs" are wired correctly. Open the Arduino sketch PhysicalPixel.

The letters H and L need to be uppercase. You can also try unplugging and replugging in the Arduino and closing then reopening the Arduino IDE. Open the Anaconda Prompt and activate the arduino virtual environment if it is not currently active.

Type the following commands to turn the Arduino LED on and off. You should see the Arduino LED turn on and off when you type the commands ser. These commands send the characters H and L over the serial line to the Arduino. The Arduino reads these characters and turns the LED on and off. Make sure you run the ser. If the serial line is not closed, you may have trouble opening the serial line again and running these same commands a second time.

If you have trouble, make sure the Arduino Serial Monitor is closed before you run the commands at the Ananconda Prompt. Again, the serial communication between the Python script and the Arduino is facilitated by the PySerial package. Ensure PySerial is installed before running the Python script. At the top of the Python script, import the PySerial package. Note that even though the package is called PySerial, the line import serial is used.
