# Python Arduino Prototyping API (version: 0.5)

The Python Arduino Prototyping API helps you to quickly prototype Arduino programs, 

without having to repeatedly load the program to the Arduino board.

#### Setup:

1. Load prototype.pde onto your Arduino dev board.

2. Import the arduino lib in your python script.

## Methods

*Arduino.output(list_of_output_pins)* - set the output pins

**Digital I/O**

1. *Arduino.setHigh(pin_number)*

2. *Arduino.setLow(pin_number)*

3. *Arduino.getState(pin_number)*

4. *Arduino.getState()* - returns true if pin state is high, else it returns false.

**Analog I/O**

1. *Arduino.analogRead(pin_number)* - returns the analog value

2. *Arduino.analogWrite(pin_number, value)* - sets the analog value

**Misc**

1.) *Arduino.turnOff()* - sets all the pins to low state

2.) *Arduino.close()* - closes serial connection. Using this makes sure that you won't have to disconnect & reconnect the Arduino again to recover the serial port.

## Usage example

        #the blink program

        #import the lib

        from arduino import Arduino

        import time

        #specify the port as an argument

        my_board = Arduino('/dev/ttyUSB1')

        #declare output pins as a list/tuple

        my_board.output([11,12,13])

        #perform operations

        i=0

        while(i<10):

            my_board.setHigh(13)

            time.sleep(1)

            my_board.setLow(13)

            time.sleep(1)

            i+=1
