Sending Data from Arduino to C# Windows Forms

KilerKazanu

Hello, I'm trying to send "data" from Arduino to my pc using C# Windows Forms, by using a textBox. My idea is that I use a physical button (PULL-UP) that when I press it, it sends a text on the textBox, such as "You've pressed the button". I'm quite a newbie to C# and I don't really understand much on how to use it. Can someone help me out?

There is no direct way of doing it as far as I know / think of.

You will need to install some sort of pub / sub software on your PC such as Mosquitto.

From Arduio publish a topic and from Windows Forms application subscribe to it.

Two technologies you mentioned do not talk to each other natively. You will need some bridge / translator inbetween.

Hope you get the point.

Any questions, please do let us know.
