Objective

Run Program in Arduino and receive data in Visual Studio using C# Program.

1. Open Arduino Application and type the following code.

Arduino Code (C++ Code)

int Loop = 1;

void setup()

{

Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()

{

Serial.println("Data Loop = " + String(Loop));

Loop++;

delay(500);

}

2. Open Microsoft Visual Studio

• Create New Project – Console App (.NET Framework)

• Use the code mentioned below:

C# Code

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

using System.IO.Ports;

namespace ArduinoDataReceive

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

SerialPort myport = new SerialPort();

myport.BaudRate = 9600;

myport.PortName = "COM3";

myport.Open();

while (true)

{

string data_rx = myport.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine(data_rx);

}

}

}

}

3. Execute the C# app and receive the response in the command prompt.

Applications

Using this method, we can easlily build an array of sensors on the Arduino board and integrate them with C# based applications.

In the next experiment we will create an activity in UiPath to receive data from Arduino using the above C# code.
