Review: Helpful - Good reference Review: very little about using Python to control an Arduino - I was looking to this book to describe how I could use the Python IDE to write and upload code to an Arduino. I've read the book and I'm still not sure whether that's possible. 70% of the book is devoted to installing the Arduino and Python IDEs and teaching the VERY basics of Python and Arduino C. 10% describes how to install an Arduino library and a Python library to allow you to use the Python IDE to send some very simple commands to the Arduino - while tethered to the PC with the USB cable. Then the rest of the book is dedicated to a cursory description of building a small robot and controlling it with pages of Arduino C code. I don't know whether English is the author's first language but the quality of the writing is really poor. There were times where I looked at a sentence and had to sort of guess what the sentence was trying to say. So it was a struggle to read and not much gained by reading it.

No python code here
This book claims to use python for programming Arduino boards. While the book present 40 pages of "how to code in python". None of that background is used in the Arduino section. In fact, there is no useful python code related to Arduino anywhere in the book. Pages 107-112 contain the only references to python code in a section entitled "The pySerial Library". You'll learn how to install and import the library. Except for a handful of lines of python code (mostly print statements), that's the entirety of python. The book's title claims to be a beginning and advanced reference. If you are interested in python coding for Arduino, after reading this book you will be no wiser.
