## What is Firmata?

> Firmata is a protocol for communicating with microcontrollers from software
> on a computer (or smartphone/tablet, etc). The protocol can be implemented
> in firmware on any microcontroller architecture as well as software on any
> computer software package (see list of client libraries below).
> ~ [Firmata Protocol Documentation](https://github.com/firmata/protocol)

## Installation

You can install this library on your machine using PIP.

```
pip install zorg-firmata
```

## Setup

To use this library with your microcontroller, you will need to load the
Standard Firmata software onto it first. See [Uploading StandardFirmata To Arduino](https://github.com/MrYsLab/pymata-aio/wiki/Uploading-StandardFirmata-To-Arduino) for an example of how to do this.

## Examples

Several examples for using the `zorg-firmata` module are available on GitHub.

## Notes

This module wraps the [PyMata](https://github.com/MrYsLab/PyMata) library to
provide Firmata support within the Zorg robotics framework.
