Anyone have a good way of sending values (lets say m_fRoll) to arduino via USB and not udp?
I've tried using example codes but does not establish connection (com port 3 in my case).
Right now I'm simply trying to establish connection and send test data, so code is simplistic.
I've attached the C_code and Arduino test code. Any help very much appreciated.
The error I receive is microsofts HANDLE error _INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE code 2 which means _FILE_NOT_FOUND, in other words can't find device on com port 3.
I'm not sure if its a windows issue or the arduino. If I run this code as HANDLE port = CreateFile("COM3", ) .... no connection is established, but if I run as CreateFileA or as (L"COM3")... then it acts like a port is established but see no data going through. Microsoft says to only use CreateFile because it's a macro that will make the correct actions based on the device.
