The best method for communicating analogue sensor and PWM control from the mbed to another computer?
Hi,
I am planning to use the mbed to receive some analogue sensor data and send this via USB back to a computer. The computer will also be sending PWM data to a gripper via the mbed.
What is the best set up for this?
How does the computer see the mbed? can the mbed be a client?
Can the on chip usb connector send the relevant data back and forth or should I use pins 31 and 32 to connect another port?
Cheers
Nick
Be the first to answer this question.
Via the usb connector you can setup a virtual com port, that can send the data fine. p31 and 32 are another option, both are viable, first one is bit easier since you can just use USB cable and a standard serial object.
