What exactly are you trying to do? It would probably be easier to connect the mbed direct to the LAN (assuming your mbed supports it) otherwise the PC will need some software running to receive the message over the network, using whatever protocol, and forward it onto the mbed over USB.
I want to vary modulation index ('m' in the program) by using another pc connected in lan or wifi....only single variable is changing...by varying modulation index I can change the speed of induction motor......due to network error I am not able to upload the program
posted by 13 Jun 2013The simplest way to do this would be to run an HTTP server on your mbed and connect it directly to the network. See http://mbed.org/cookbook/HTTP-Server. You could include your modulation index in the URL. Any computer can then simply make an http request to your mbed to update the modulation index. Not sure how you are generating this index, if it comes from another programme it will need to be modified to make the HTTP request or you could serve an html web page from the mbed to update the index from a browser.
