Communicating to the Arduino in the.NET platform is pretty much straightforward: The Arduino uses a virtual serial port to allow programs to be written onto it, but we can also use this port to get and send data to and from the Arduino.Materials:. Arduino or Arduino Compatible Board (UNO, Mega, Etc.). Compatible USB Cable to Connect the Arduino to the Host Computer. The Arduino Software (Available ). VB.NET 2010 or 2012 (Available )I am assuming that you already have a simple knowledge of the.NET and Arduino (software & hardware) platforms.

How to send data arduino to ms excel, PLX DAQ v2 is a program used to establish an easy communication between Microsoft Excel on a Windows Computer and any device that supports serial port protocol. It was intentionally written to allow communication between Arduino and Excel.
If not, there are many tutorials on the internet to help get you started. Let's begin by putting the program on the Arduino. End ModuleThis code should be fairly simple. It opens a new console window, then it asks the user if they want to get the data from the port, next (if they said yes), it opens up a new COM port and gets the data, finally it writes it to the console.
You may need to changeCOM4 to the correct port for your Arduino. It lists what port Arduino is on in the Arduino software bottom right corner. You can not write a new program to the Arduino when this software is running, for it gives an error that says that the COM port is busy. To use this program, be sure your Arduino is plugged in, and it is running the code from step 1. Now, run the program from above and type in R. It may take a second (the Arduino only sends itonce per second), but the number 1234 will come up!
If you change the number 1234 in the Arduino code to 'hello' and upload it and run the.NET program, it will only give you the decimal value for a lower-case h. This is because this program can only readone byte at a time. See if you can change it up to read the whole word and convert it to unicode! Post your inventions!
