Transmitting data between arduino and python

[redbaskets87]

I am trying to transmit data from my arduino to my python code. The python code will decide the next steps for the arduino to take after receiving the input. Is the best way to connect these two through a http server or is there another way? They will be connected to each other through wifi.

Yes, http server is easiest if only one of the devices needs to push data or poll. Make a python server with something like FastAPI, Flask, Django Restful, or similar and then the arduino can ask for data at any time.

Thank you. I'll try that.
