Noobie question about connection between Python and Arduino!

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hello there!
I'm pretty new to python and arduino, and it's my first time trying to make them work together. I use python's open cv toolbox to gather some coordonates of a ball on a plate. Based on them i have to use some servo-motors to change those coordonates by tilting the plate.

My question is: How do i send the info over to arduino, about the two integers x and y, and separate them in the arduino code to use them on different servos?

I alrdy done one coordonate to one servo, for both x y axes, separately, but i fail to do it for both at the same time.

Thanks and sorry for my english! :smiley:

This Simple Python - Arduino demo may help.

Or you could use Power_Broker's SerialTransfer.h

perhaps old school, but straight forward
