How can you communicate through serial port on visual studio to an MBED board
I have an interface and when a button is pressed i need one of the LEDs to light up through visual studio using serial port i also then need to retrieve a temperature reading from the mbed board and relay that information onto the interface.
Is this possible and how can I go about find information on how to do this?
Thanks

hi Krishan, You might be in the wrong forum (since most of the mbed site is the other end of the serial port from the piece you want).
In any case, Visual Studio (one of the finest and highest performance dev environments) supports a number of languages. Just by entering "Visual Studio read serial port" in a popular search engine, you will find plenty of possible solutions, in C++, C#, Visual Basic and probably more. Add the work "tutorial" narrows the search a bit - but maybe even more on topic for you.
