Python app that can control GPIO

                        Python app that can control GPIO

I have done a Python app which can control GPIO of a microcontroller.

Here in this project I have tried different options to do a app in python in step by step process .i am trying to control LEDs using different options that provided by python GUI(graphical user interface), here you replace the LEDs with motor  or any output device ( with some drivers IC if required), but the process of doing app is same.

Why python and MSP430G2?

I think MSP430G2 is one of the  best development board by TI (Texas Instruments) with ultra low power microcontroller which is have 5 low powered mode by which battery life can be extended, which is also having 16 bit RISC CPU .So it is more preferable that other MCU’s where you need less battery consumption and maximum code efficiency.

Python is easy language to start with and it can be used for many application  its supports many domains like internet protocols, web developments, Scientific and Numeric Comuting,Desktop GUI, Software development etc.,

I’ll try doing this project in step wise:

Step1: 1^st I need to create a simple GUI (graphical user interface) using python, for this you need to import the TKINTER library it is a GUI toolkit which come along with python no need to download it again, in that (TKINTER lib) you have different options to make your own creative GUI application, Tkinter library have various controls, such as buttons, labels and text boxes used in a GUI application. These controls are commonly called widgets.

              

Step2: now I have to create button icon to operate LED, in order to do that we have so many option in that I will go for radio button, in order to display my radio buttons we need to fallow a small syntax

In this step ill import the serial library so that I can operate my on board led by sending data ,When I click on led need to be ‘on’ when I click off led need to be ‘off’.

                                       

Step3: now I will create another button icon with color to operate LED.
