Interfacing Microcontroller with PC using Visual C++ 6.0 - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Hi,

I'm working on controlling robot's arm. Actually, I'm new with this topic.. I'd like to ask how to interfacing my microcontroller so it can communicate with my PC hence I can control the robot's arm. Is there any kind of program example to provide it?

Thx..

C# has serial port support. If you want to use USB but do not want to mess with the drivers Microchip has a USB driver that emulates a serial port. You can talk to that driver from C# using the RS232 support.

Follow the USB Wacker link in my signature. It uses a liberty basic program to talk to an 18F PIC with driver written in C. Even if you do not use the UBW there is some good info there.

EDIT: Without knowing what microcontroller you are using it is hard to give a better answer.
