    Thank you for your time and dedication to making this video. For me it was excellent, fast and direct. Your video helps me with a project that I want to do in which I use a muscle sensor in which if the muscle sensor is activated it turns on a green LED. and when it stops receiving signal it turns off. Hopefully you can make an example of what I intend to do. Thanks for help and time.

    • @lemastertech
      @lemastertech  Před 4 měsíci

      Hi that’s an interesting application! Do you have a specific muscle sensor already specified and picked out yet? If it outputs a digital on/off signal it should be pretty easy to do but it will depend on the sensor!

    Hi
    Bit late to the party but I only just found your channel.
    NEVER used Python but I hear that it is rather powerful so I will be going "hermit" to test it out and learn it.
    Have a few questions about both Python (and Arduino running GRBL but that is for later)
    1) Can Python run on "old" 32 bit Windows systems? - eg. WinXP, Win7 32bit.
    2) Can Python use the USB port to connect to the Arduino?
    3) Would it be possible to retrieve a file from a storage device? eg. A G-Code command list file from a HDD or memory stick.
    4) I assume that parsing strings is an easy standard function so parsing the input should be easy (in PHP it was VERY EASY)
    5) Then can I forward the commands to the Arduino so that GRBL can do its thing?
    6) Would Python be able to receive and handle returns from the GRBL on the Arduino and branch accordingly?
    I am assuming that the answer to all these things is probably a resounding YES.
    Now why am I asking?
    I need to control a CNC Router and the only PC I have is AT BEST an OLD HP Notepad that is happy with XP but can handle Win7-32bit with a LOT of coaxing.
    My aim is to write my own 32bit friendly version of GCodeSender that runs well on really old 32bit Windows machines because the only available versions that will INSTALL EASILY are all 64bit.
    To run 32bit it needs libraries that Microsoft no longer gives you and when you go to alternative source web sites my Anti-Virus has heart attacks. (I listen to my Anti-Virus software)
    And just by the way, there are A LOT of people out there with the same problem that I have - ESPECIALLY us pensioners.
    So, its off to install Python for me and I hope you had a good Easter weekend.

    Weird situation, it appears when I run from arduino, both LED's immediately just turn on from start. This occurs from coding it myself and using your github Pyduino code...
    only difference is that I made the Python portion first before the Arduino...

    • @lemastertech
