pymata_aio is a high performance, non-blocking, Python asyncio client for the Firmata Protocol that supports the complete StandardFirmata protocol.

Major features

• Python 3.5+ compatible.
  • Implements PEP 492
  • Applications developed with version 1.x of pymata_aio are backward compatible without modification.
• Implemented using the high efficiency Python asyncio library.
• Choose From 3 Included APIs
  • pymata_core - a pure asyncio method call API.
  • pymata3 - a pymata_aio plugin implementing a method call API that acts as a proxy for pymata_core. It shields the user from the details of the asyncio library.
  • pymata_iot - a pymata_aio plugin API that implements Websocket server, and uses JSON messaging for application communication.
    • After downloading and invoking pymata_iot, control your Arduino from a webpage!
• Implements 100% of the StandardFirmata Protocol (StandardFirmata 2.5.3).
• Auto-detects Arduino COM ports.
• FirmataPlus (enhanced StandardFirmata sketch) included with distribution. It adds support for:
  • HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensors using a single pin.
  • Stepper Motors.
  • Piezo Tone Generation.
  • 2 Pin Rotary Encoder Support.
• FirmataPlusRB (enhanced StandardFirmata sketch to control a SparkFun Redbot) is included with the distribution. It adds support for:
  • Piezo Tone Generation.
  • Wheel encoders.
  • RedBot Accelerometer.
  • Check out rbDashBoard for a web interface to the RedBot.
  • Check out rb4s, a Scratch Program to control the RedBot.
• Ability to automatically capture and time-stamp user specified analog and digital transient input events on a per-pin basis.
• All 3 APIs support callback as well as a polled interface.
