Switching from embedded computers to trying to learn the ARM platform you can see why im having some trouble here ...

I need to communicate from a computer or android device over the network to my mbed and i would normally a telnet or a ssh to send commands but i dont see any libraries to let me do this, i can see the potential in the HTTP server but i have no idea where to go from there!

i have my mbed all wired up with an Ethernet port and the HTTP server test program works fine!

in short i need a way to send "commands" from a remote device over the network and in to my mbed and have it execute a task! 2 way communications is strongly preferred but i can settle going from device to mbed

sorry for my english!

Hi,

I'd try looking at the RPC pages in the cookbook - they show how commands can be sent over serial or HTTP to cause the mbed to perform various actions.

Hi Alyx,

I was playing with RPC commands and Visual Basic 2008, take a look here > http://mbed.org/users/fernandomachado/code/RPC_HTTP/ and here the VB 2008 project > http://www.4shared.com/rar/KeoBrZxm/Teste_Mbed.html (the executable is inside "Teste_Mbed\bin\Debug").

Hey,

Still, you can try to send all mbed data to a MySQL database and make your android or computer to use a web interface that communicates directly with mbed.
