Overview
Why reinvent the wheel. I have seen very complicated methods for communicating with the Arduino, Including some I have made on my own. What I have recently found out is that the easiest way to communicate to the Arduino is using the existing tool netcat. It is soooooo simple and super powerful. You
Assumptions
- You have basic knowledge of command line usage
- You know how to program Arduino to use the serial port output
Mini2440 or Embedded Systems
Embedded systems like the Mini2440, use Busy Box as a small utility package.
nc -f /dev/ttyUSB0
