Hello to All,
We are starting a project trying to make a microcontroller (uc) communicate with a PC using ethernet (the uc is connected with a ethernet cable directly to a nic card in the pc). My concern is could we use Labview to create a vi that somehow "telnets" into the ip address of the uc?
Essentially, what we want is some sort of a GUI interface using labview to retrieve and send data (form of text files) from the PC to the uc. We can use telnet on a dos prompt to log into the uc and write and send files, but we want to make it more pleasing to the eye so we considered using Labview.
Would the proper process be as follows:
1) create a vi that has tcp/ip components
2) since we know the ip address of the uc, how does one create an object in LV so that it automatically connects to that particular ip and send and retrieve files.
thanks and hope to hear for your responses.
