In this recipe, we learned how to use the PyDrive library to upload data captured with the microcontroller to the cloud automatically.
PyDrive is not restricted to uploading files to Google Drive only. In reality, PyDrive can carry out the usual tasks that are done in the web browser, such as:
- Creating files
- Downloading files
- Searching for files
- Delegating files
For more information, refer to the official PyDrive documentation at https://pythonhosted.org/PyDrive/.
For example, you may consider extending the Python script to create a directory in Google Drive to automate uploading files in the cloud fully.
Serial communication is undoubtedly an easy way to get information during the program execution. However, its relatively slow data transfer speed could make it unsuitable for some applications.
The upcoming recipe will show an alternative approach that can only display simple information to the user...
