Hello,

First thank you for your reply. When you talk about PC application, you mean a graphical application?

Assuming that the mbed sends ''graphics commands'' to the PC over the serial port then the application running on the PC will have to receive those commands and do whatever it is you want it to do. Your PC application will typically decode and execute these commands by calling Unity methods or something.

mbed can communicate with a host PC through a "USB Virtual Serial Port" over the same USB cable that is used for programming. This makes it possible to send/receive data to a terminal application running on your PC or to your own applications written in languages like C, C++, java etc. There are several examples available on the mbed site. Here is one by jim hamblen for communication with a C++ application. You would have to develop a PC application that interfaces with the Unity engine using some serial command protocol between the PC and mbed.
