Install Python Tools

The WICED Feather BSP uses a few Python based tools to allow the Arduino IDE to talk to the hardware in a platform-

independent manner (specifically tools/source/feather_dfu/feather_dfu.py).

To use these Python tools, you will need a few additional libraries to make the python scripts work.

Running the following command from the command line will install these dependencies:

python --version

Python 2.7.11

Update: Recent versions of the BSP now include a pre-compiled version of the feather_dfu tool in the

'/tools/win32-x86/feather_dfu' folder, which should run on most systems once the libusb dependencies

above are installed. You will still need python for the pycert tool though.

pip install --pre pyusb
