Hello all!
I previously posted a similar topic here (viewtopic.php?f=32&t=30037), there were no replies and although I have moved forward, I still have one big roadblock impeding my progress.
To begin with, my Arduino/Wifly is independently powered, able to connect to a network and control LEDs via url where commands are added after its ip address. I got the last part working thanks to an ethernet shield tutorial on bildr.org and I found enough sample code to feel comfortable putting up a webpage that can control the pins on my Arduino via buttons.
My problem is that I would really prefer to avoid having to build a webpage, and getting the Wifly to connect to it, and instead having it take commands from a joystick connected to the computer or the computer’s own keyboard. The best suggestion so far has been to use serial.read, however, this would require me to press enter repeatedly and this is a problem because we are trying to control a robot in real time.
Any and all help would really be appreciated, please write back guys!
