Arduino (Firmata)
Connectors MIT (Free)
About
The Firmata protocol lets a host computer remotely control Arduino digital/analog pins, PWM outputs and I2C/SPI peripherals over a USB serial connection. The Paramus Arduino connector uses pyfirmata2 to set pin modes, write analog/digital values, read sensor data and configure servos. Requires StandardFirmata or ConfigurableFirmata sketch loaded on the Arduino board. No vendor license required.
Key Features
- Digital and analog pin read/write
- PWM and servo control
- I2C peripheral access
- Real-time pin sampling
