I am doing my master thesis and one of the important things for me is to transfer the recordings of pressure and temperature from a patient simulator to a PC. From the sensors, the information is taken by the raspberry pi3. I am using raspberry pi3 because it has inbuilt wifi option. Now I have to transfer the data from the raspberry pi to the PC wirelessly using python programming. I am new to python and I have absolutely no idea how to do this. Could anyone help me with writing the code so that I could at least send some data from where I could adjust the bit rate and other things according to my requirements?
Take a look at sockets, a simple client - server communication is really easy to do :)

I never used a raspberry pi before and I have a project part of which includes receiving data from a BLE blood pressure device over Bluetooth to a raspberry pi 3. I can pair the device to my raspberry but I have no idea what to do next. I need to be able to receive the measurements in my raspberry please help and thank you in advance.
PS: the device I'm trying to use is very similar to this one:

Thanks for your answers, I have tried "Gatt" and "Gatttool" but the problem is after pairing the device is meant to send the measurement to its application on an android phone, without it I cannot read the blood measurement characteristic or it just does not exist.
Linux uses BlueZ as a default bluetooth stack. It exposes DBus APIs for implementing software using Bluetooth.
If you don't want to use this API directly, which can sometimes feel a bit low level you have many libraries that wrap it, such as https://github.com/getsenic/gatt-python that also comes with examples.
All other solutions requires replacing the Bluetooth stack on Linux and hence your other existing Bluetooth pairings to the system will stop working.
I’m looking to essentially use two devices: raspberry pi 3 and Mac 10.15. I am using the pi to capture video from my web cam and I want to use my Mac to kind of extend to the pi so when I use cv2.videocapture I can capture that same video in preferably real-time or something close. I’m programming this using python on bout devices. I thought of putting it on a local server and retrieving it but I have no idea how I could use that with opencv. If someone could provide and explain a useful example, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
To transfer a video stream, you could use instead of a custom solution a RTMP server on the source machine feeding it with the cam source and the target opens the stream and processes it.
A similar approach to mine is widely implemented into IP cameras: They run a RTMP server to make the stream available for phones and PC.
I had a quick opinion question regarding a Raspberry Pi/Python based home security system I'm working on. My end goal is to have magnetic door/window sensors being monitored by a Raspberry Pi 4 server. If a window or door is opened while the system is armed it will play an alarm sound to the connected speakers. I would then have Raspberry Pi Zero W powered keypad panels (with LCD screens and a 12 digit keypad) that would allow me to see whether the system is armed or disarmed and allow me to input the passcode to arm or disarm the system. The Raspberry Pi Zero W panels would connect to the Raspberry Pi 4 server over the network.
I already have a somewhat functional test system running in a single Python script with everything connected to the Raspberry Pi 4 (link below). However, I'm now at a point where I need to figure out how to tie in the Raspberry Pi Zero W keypad panels I would like to integrate over the network. My question for you all is how would you go about implementing the network connectivity portion of this? Should I use something like Node.js with some kind of database? Perhaps the socket module in Python for something low-level? Something else entirely?
I'm up for any and all suggestions for how to go about this. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks in advance!

If this was me, As you have the power of a full fat Pi 4, I would use a PHP web server on the "server" Pi that the other nodes POST to. This will give you the benefit of not having to deal with low level networking. You could also potentially add further devices or web services in the future with more integration opportunities.
You would then need to interface python to the PHP server however this could be done with a simple text file or alike.
I'm working on a project to control a drone using an EEG headset. The EEG headset is connected to my laptop [runnig ubuntu 18.04] and the drone to the raspberry pi [raspbian].
The code for processing the EEG data on the laptop as well as the code to control the drone is written on python 3.6 and work without any problems.
setup:
the EEG headset[ neurosky mindwave mobile 2] and the drone[ parrot mambo] both use BLE[bluetooth low energy] to connect with the devices. since both of them use Bluetooth it would be hard to send and receive data simultaneously to both the devices using a single code and laptop as they require a continuous uninterrupted connection and high data rates. hence the EEG headset is connected to the laptop via BLE and similarly the drone to the raspberry pi 3b+. The laptop takes care of processing the EEG signal and determining the desired command, while the raspberry pi acts as a wireless controller for the drone.
system setup
I need to pass the values between these 2 codes[and devices] so as to control the drone using the EEG signal. For eg, if I want to make the drone go forward after processing the signal I need to send say "1" or "f" to the raspberry pi from the laptop.
A wired connection such as Ethernet cable or USB is preferred over a wireless method.
The data size and rate is very less as a single character is sufficient and it will be sent only once every few seconds.
Which would be the best method to achieve this sort of communication
Use kafka or 0mq to loosely couple the laptop sender to the rasp pi receiver.
If one of them reboots, that's ok, the other will keep plugging away.
In the kafka case, you will enjoy the advantage of being able to replay a laptop publisher session again and again as you tweak and test the rasp pi client code.
I am developing project on Raspberry Pi and I need to add feature of measuring heart rate. I want to use Smart Watch to do that but I do not know which smart watch provide environment which allows me to implement wireless communication between watch and Raspberry (Raspbian OS) easily. Thank you in advance for each answer.
I don't think any smart-watch allows direct connection between Raspberry Pi and smart-watch. It is not recommended on android developer site to open lower level sockets as well. You can send smart-watch's sensor data to Phone and then send it to Raspberry Pi.
