Learn how to control a simple Arduino robot with Python!

The robot is a 3d printed robot arm from Thingiverse and is controlled by 4 servo motors: 3 to control the axes and one to open and close the hand. The robot is connected to the computer using an Arduino Uno board. We will be flashing the Arduino with a special program called StandardFirmata which allows to control all Arduino pins from the PC, by communicating with the Arduino over USB. This makes possible to control the Arduino remotely from the Python shell or from a Python script. We will write Python scripts of increased complexity to control the robot and to perform funny tasks!
