Device Interfacing with Python and ZIO

This talk shows how to connect hardware devices to a PC, and how to program them from Python. An IO framework called the ZIO is used for connecting devices like LEDs, LCDs, Keypads, Temperature Sensors, Motors, etc. to the PC. The devices are then accessed and programed using ZIO Python library.
