 When's the last time you called up FIRST headquarters just to say thanks? Or saw a volunteer at a regional and said, 'Hey, you're doing a really great job here. Thank you for everything you're doing in your spare time.' - Amanda Morrison [more] |

Communicating with a laptop
Okay, so, now that all of team 1058's competitons are over, we are playing around with some coding. We plan on making our robot driven via a wireless 360 controller. Currently we have it working via a Laptop, passeing data to an arduino, then to the digital/analog IO on teh DS, however, this is inefficient, and slow. Is ther a way i can directly communicate from a laptop to the DS (or maybe even to the robot with wifi???".
I'm not 100% sure, but cant i send an array of bytes through a digital port from a serial port on the laptop (wit the proper hard ware of course)?? How do I do that? Can i use teh second ethernet port, and send data that way?

Re: Communicating with a laptop
To have the laptop control the robot directly, take a look at [Dave Flowerday]'s virtual driver station software.
For information on sending serial data through the DS's digital inputs, check out this prior discussion. --Ryan
