Got it! If you want to upload an Arduino sketch using Python without any additional libraries, you can use the Arduino CLI directly. Here's a simple example:

1. **Install Arduino CLI**: If you haven't already, download and install the Arduino CLI from the [Arduino CLI website](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/installation/).

2. **Write a Python script**: This script will compile and upload your sketch to the Arduino board.

Here's a basic example:

Python:
import os
import subprocess

# Path to Arduino CLI
arduino_cli_path = "path/to/arduino-cli"

# Path to your sketch
sketch_path = "path/to/your/sketch.ino"

# Port where your Arduino is connected
port = "COM3"  # Replace with your port (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux)

# Fully Qualified Board Name (FQBN)
fqbn = "arduino:avr:uno"  # Replace with your board's FQBN

# Compile the sketch
compile_command = f"{arduino_cli_path} compile --fqbn {fqbn} {sketch_path}"
subprocess.run(compile_command, shell=True, check=True)

# Upload the sketch
upload_command = f"{arduino_cli_path} upload -p {port} --fqbn {fqbn} {sketch_path}"
subprocess.run(upload_command, shell=True, check=True)

print("Sketch uploaded successfully!")

### Steps:
1. **Replace** the `arduino_cli_path` with the path to your Arduino CLI executable.
2. **Replace** the `sketch_path` with the path to your Arduino sketch.
3. **Replace** the `port` with the port your Arduino is connected to.
4. **Replace** the `fqbn` with the Fully Qualified Board Name of your Arduino board (you can find this using `arduino-cli board listall`).

This script will compile and upload your sketch to the Arduino board. If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask! 😊

Would you like more details on any of these steps?
