Hello all,
I have been tinkering around with microcontrollers for the past while this summer and have gotten fairly comfortable with how they work in a local system, but for some of my projects I would like to be able to monitor or control data from my laptop.
For instance, say I have an analog signal, I then convert it to a digital value with an onboard PIC ADC, and I would like to send this to my laptop to be read by a program in real-time.
I have a fair grasp on PIC architecture and coding in C18, but I don't really know how to get started with this task. I am familiar with PIC18's and C18 and I am wondering if there are any good tutorials or development boards that I can look into to get started.
Ideally I would like to use a PIC18 and be able to transmit data through a USB cord to my laptop to be intercepted by MATLAB for plotting.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
JP
