Chapter 3. Interacting with Digital Outputs with Python
In this chapter, we will work with digital inputs with Python and two libraries: mraa
and wiring-x86
. We shall:
- Wire our first connections between an Intel Galileo Gen 2 and a breadboard with electronic components
- Write a first version of a Python script that turns on and off electronic components connected to the board
- Transfer Python code to the Yocto Linux running on the board
- Execute Python scripts that interact with the board
- Learn to take advantage of Python's object-oriented features to improve the code and make it easier to understand
- Prepare the code to make it easy to build an API that will allow us to interact with the IoT device
