Arduino / Firmata Interaction #41

Closed wtgee closed 7 years ago

wtgee commented 8 years ago

We have custom arduino code both in the computer and camera boxes. With the updates to the actual electronics interface we also want to start placing Firmata directly on the boards so that the control can be handled over to Python (or some other client code). This needs to be implemented and the clients need to be written to digest and interact with the arduinos

wtgee commented 7 years ago

Decided not to use Firmata. New features for arduino will be defined elsewhere.
