The Telemetrix Project

The Telemetrix Project is a modern-day replacement for Arduino StandardFirmata, equipped with many more built-in features than StandardFirmata.

Here is a feature comparison between Telemetrix and StandardFirmata:

Examples For All Features X

The project consists of a Python client API used to create a Python client application and C++ servers that communicate with the Python client over a serial or WiFi link.

This repository is the Python 3 client API.

The server for Arduino serial linked devices is called Telemetrix4Arduino.

The WiFi server for ESP8266 devices is called Telemetrix4Esp8266.

A User's Guide explaining installation and use is available online.

Historically, Telemetrix was developed in phases, and the directories for those phases were left intact for those interested in the project's beginnings. You may view a discussion of these phases on the Bots In Pieces blog.
