Reading and writing data from usb
Hi
i am trying to make a project using arduino to control several power surces by time, i don't want to have an lcd, that would be easyer but i don't have enought space on my project, i want to set the time and the timing for the relays via Serial
Of curse i could set it using the serial monitor on the arduino ide, but i want to make a simple program to make the pc comunicate with the arduino and make it simpler to set the time and similar stuff
can anyone redirect me to a forum or a page that explains how to use one of my usb ports to print and read serial data?
Best Regards

What library are you using to talk to the Arduino from the PC? That would dictate the answer to your question rather heavily. For example, if you were using the WinAPI, then you would use "CreateFile()" and "WriteFile()" to open a handle and send data to the device respectfully.
