Gobetwino

ntewinkel

I was watching a conversation on the forum about questions regarding Arduino, which involved connecting Arduino to a Windows-based program named "Gobetwino", and it caught my interest.

 

In a nutshell, Gobetwino is a program that runs on your Windows machine, and waits for commands via the serial port.

You can use your Arduino (or any other micro-controller, or even another computer) to send commands to Gobetwino via the serial port.

 

So I set it up and after a bit of fiddling got it to open NotePad and had it type "Hello World!" into the new NotePad file image

 

Attached are the complete step by step instructions for both sides of the equation, in case anyone is interested.

 

ps, I did this on a WindowsXP machine (in a VirtualBox on Mac actually). The Gobetwino author also recommends XP, so it may not work the same way, or at all, on Vista or 7.

 

Cheers,

-Nico

  • Gee Thanks Nico,

        I have prayed, read religous things more, spend TONS of money, months of time and anger, boxing psychology, requests, and smoked too much to get a program like this.  I have bribed, threatened, and sent women to male hackers,  to get this program that looks this good. This one really looks like it could open a Disktop program. May the Lord Most High Be praised! (and certainly you, Nico...) Of course, I did not threaten or send women to others..hehe. On the other hand I am so excited, but so pooped Remember, I keep my word on any "bribes" for this sort of program. First come first serve. hehehe.

    Sincerely

     

    (Of course I speak in addition to the rest of my things I told you as well as write things down, the Paradigm Shift of 2000, no hard schedules or quotas for 10+ years.)

    Again, my thanks. :O)
