Hardware Interoperability with Python for Connected Systems
summary
Presents using Python as a unifying layer that reads UART/serial, NMEA GPS, and plain-text ultrasonic sensors and maps their data into a canonical model. Implements protocol bridges that translate that model to MQTT or HTTP, applies edge validation to drop corrupt frames, and demos a real system using pyserial to read a USB source of roll angles, parse and serialize them to JSON, and drive 12 strip lights by angle ranges (works well though with occasional lag).
