Watch Terry Orchard's next video in the Secure Shell Access (SSH) series for custom Python programming.

Did you see last week's new video: Getting Started with groov EPIC & RIO Secure Shell? That video explained how to obtain a free Shell license for your groov EPIC, activate it, and then install it on your groov devices.

This new video picks up where the introduction left off: Getting Started with Repositories & Python on groov EPIC and RIO. Take a deeper dive using Secure Shell Access (SSH) along with custom Python programming packages with your groov devices.

Although your host, Terry Orchard, demonstrates on a groov EPIC Learning Center in the video, the tips shared work on any groov EPIC or RIO model.

Watch as Terry provides step-by-step instructions with reminders of best security practices along the way. The video covers:

  • Getting started
  • I/O and Resources
  • REST API
  • API keys
  • Installing PIP (Python package manager)
  • Installing requests
  • OptoMMP

In 15 minutes, you'll learn multiple ways to communicate with your I/O using RESTful, MMP, or MQTT.
