how can i use c++ to recieve data from mbed through serial port?

Hi,

I'm facing this problem. I would like to know if that worked or not. For me I'd like to have a code in c/c++ for VC or VC++ so I can use the data in there(VC++) which are being received by usb serial port, sent by mbed. I can see the data in mbed terminal(Terra Term) & don't need any GUI.

I would appreciate any help cause it's a bit urgent.

Thank you!

I dont understand what exactly it is you are asking. Do you want to send data from an mbed via USB serial to a VC+ application? Yes you can do that, same as adding a normal serial port.

Hey Erik,

Thank you for your reply! :) I'm sorry for making it confusing. Yes, you got it right, I want to send data from mbed via USB serial to laptop & then to VC+ application. Is it too complicated, I dont have too much knowledge in C++. It will mean a lot to me if you can post some link, from where I can learn about how to add serial port in VC+(so I can get the data from USB port) or any simple example to test it out.

Again,I really appreciate your help!

Long time ago I used VC++, but a quick google gave me: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/b41ed326-3521-4131-a581-8c04f21772c4/implementing-serial-port-communication-in-vc-2010-windows-form-application/. That answer there might help you further.

Hey Erik,

Thank you for your reply. I'm trying to understand what that page is saying(still havent figured out yet) & also searching for any page (with easy looking sample codes) in google. I will be very grateful if you can send me if you find any easier sample link for me. I'll let you know if I have any specific question about the pages I'm looking at.

Again, I really appreciate your reply.
