Can someone please show me a full python sample code that uses pyserial, i have the package and am wondering how to send the AT commands and read them back!

What Is Serial Communication

I have not used pyserial but based on the API documentation at https://pyserial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shortintro.html it seems like a very nice interface. It might be worth double-checking the specification for AT commands of the device/radio/whatever you are dealing with.

Specifically, some require some period of silence before and/or after the AT command for it to enter into command mode. I have encountered some which do not like reads of the response without some delay first.

Sometimes when working on an Ardunio project, it is necessary to send data back and forth between a computer. Now, you could use something like the arduino ethernet shield, which would send data over a network, but if you want something easy and free the simplest solution is USB communication.

There are several ways to approach Ardunio USB communication, but in this case we will be using Python on the computer side to send and receive information. As such, this instructable expects that you have some prior knowledge of Ardunio, and of Python (or other similar scripting language).

Why Python?

Python is a versatile, easy to learn, and easy to use scripting language. Its power, and huge library of user-created modules (everything from keyboard emulation to game programming) makes it an ideal language for a wide verity of computer side tasks. You could easy parse network information and make an Arduino visualizer, create a game controller, or make a keypad computer login system. Arduino with Python opens up a word of possibilities.
