The project consists of a Python client API used to create a Python client application and C++ servers that communicate with the Python client over a serial or WiFi link.
This repository is the Python 3 asyncio client API.
The server for Arduino serial linked devices is called Telemetrix4Arduino.
The WiFi server for ESP8266 devices is called Telemetrix4Esp8266.
A User's Guide explaining installation and use is available online.
