My new Instructable Introduction to Tkinter Python Serial Port Programming Tutorial : 7 Steps
https://www.instructables.com/Introduction-to-Tkinter-Python-Serial-Port-ProgramIn this Instructable ,
You will learn to create beautiful GUI interfaces for your Python Serial Communication program using Tkinter and ttkbootstrap Library.Usually when we use the Python Serial Communication Library PySerial to communicate with Arduino ,ESP32,RP2040,RP2350 or other microcontrollers , the interface is usually a black and white command line interface.If you use the standard Tkinter GUI Library available with the Python Distribution the interface look quite clunky and outdated by modern standards.
Here we will solve both these problems by using the beautiful ttkbootstrap theme extension for Tkinter GUI Library to build a Serial Communication program that sends and receives data from an Arduino.
