Python with Arduino LESSON 10: Installing Drawnow to Allow Live Plotting with Matplotlib

Our objective with this series of lessons is to plot live data coming from arduino using Python and Matplotlib. We have taken a few lessons to get familiar with Matplotlib, and we have built a circuit to stream live data from arduino to python. We need to install one more library to enable Matplotlib to plot live sensor data in real time. The magic library is called drawnow. The bad news is that this library is hard to install on windows. The good news it that PIP installs it very easy. So, if you have not done so already, you need to go to Python with Arduino LESSON 6 and install PIP. PIP makes it very easy to install drawnow.
