Summary

Alright! You have successfully completed the comparatively mundane tasks of installing and configuring Python and the Arduino IDE. Your system, whether it is a Mac OS X, Linux, or Windows system, is now ready for the upcoming chapters. In this chapter, we went through the history and building blocks of Arduino. We also learned the basics of Python programming and the Arduino language. Now, you are ready to get your hands on real hardware and start exploring computer to hardware interfacing. In the next chapter, we will go through the first step of interfacing, that is, connecting Arduino to the computer using a serial interface.
