Python is so much more than a language for Web 2.0 and system administration: Python can also be used for interfacing into the real world.
Learn how to connect Python up to stepper motors, micro-fluidic pumps, A/D sensors, switches, solenoids, vacuum/pressure valves and XYZ robots, with simple off-the-shelf control hardware.
We'll also cover various control interfaces (such as pyserial), concurrent control (eg threading), coupling to C/C++ and some tips and traps when using Python for embedded and real-time control.
