Programming Interfaces
The Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch supports various programming interfaces, including:
Arduino IDE
 Python (via PySerial library)
 C/C++ (via serial communication)
Example 1: Arduino IDE - Basic Plier Control
In this example, we will demonstrate how to control the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch using an Arduino board.
```arduino
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <NosePlierNP01.h>
// Replace with your Wi-Fi credentials
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
NosePlierNP01 plier; // Create a Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch object
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to Wi-Fi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to Wi-Fi");
  plier.begin(); // Initialize the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch
}
void loop() {
  if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    char command = Serial.read();
    if (command == 'o') { // Open the plier
      plier.open();
      Serial.println("Plier opened");
    } else if (command == 'c') { // Close the plier
      plier.close();
      Serial.println("Plier closed");
    }
  }
  delay(50);
}
```
In this example, we use the `NosePlierNP01` library to control the plier's actions. The `open()` and `close()` functions are used to operate the plier.
Example 2: Python - Remote Plier Control using PySerial
In this example, we will demonstrate how to control the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch using Python and the PySerial library.
```python
import serial
import time
# Replace with your serial port (e.g., '/dev/ttyUSB0' or 'COM3')
serial_port = 'your_serial_port'
plier = serial.Serial(serial_port, 9600, timeout=1)
while True:
    command = input("Enter 'o' to open or 'c' to close the plier: ")
    if command == 'o':
        plier.write(b'o')  # Send the open command
        print("Plier opened")
    elif command == 'c':
        plier.write(b'c')  # Send the close command
        print("Plier closed")
    time.sleep(0.5)
```
In this example, we use the PySerial library to establish a serial connection with the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch. We then use the `write()` function to send commands to the plier.
Example 3: C/C++ - UART Communication
In this example, we will demonstrate how to control the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch using C/C++ and UART communication.
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#define SERIAL_PORT "/dev/ttyUSB0"  // Replace with your serial port
int main() {
    int fd = open(SERIAL_PORT, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
    if (fd == -1) {
        perror("Failed to open serial port");
        return 1;
    }
char command[2];
    while (1) {
        printf("Enter 'o' to open or 'c' to close the plier: ");
        scanf("%1s", command);
if (strcmp(command, "o") == 0) {
            write(fd, "o", 1);  // Send the open command
            printf("Plier opened
");
        } else if (strcmp(command, "c") == 0) {
            write(fd, "c", 1);  // Send the close command
            printf("Plier closed
");
        }
        usleep(500000);
    }
close(fd);
    return 0;
}
```
In this example, we use the standard C libraries to establish a UART connection with the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch. We then use the `write()` function to send commands to the plier.
These examples demonstrate the versatility and ease of use of the Nose Plier NP-01 5" Inch in various programming contexts.
