visual foxpro serial communication with arduino

I could not find much on how to send data between two microcontrollers using USB for serial communication. I also found that most tutorials and the library were tailored mainly to towards using game controllers and USB peripherals like a keyboard or a mouse.

There are not many helpful tutorials about and the Arduino USB Host library requires a good bit of knowledge about USB drivers before you can get anywhere. I quickly realised why I had put this aside all those years ago. This was not something I had preplanned to do but when needs must, why not as never say no to a learning opportunity.Īs it was Arduino Day 2020 on March 21st, I decided to dust off an Arduino USB Host Shield from Sparkfun to see if I could get it to communicate with a FTDI USB to UART converter. So, I decided to tackle something I had put aside for years as I knew I could then use the project to test out a user interface on the Guardian-100 when I got the chance. So, I'm left using my trusty old 32-bit Windows desktop in the “man den”, which is perfectly good for Arduino but not much else these days.

Yep, the wife and kids have commandeered the laptop for school work, Zoom video virtual meetups, 'Microsoft teams' meetings and last but not least online games. Ireland, like much of the EU, is in lockdown and I now find myself locked out from using my Windows-10 laptop, which I need to use to complete my AVNET Guardian-100 MT3620 roadtest review.
