i have a rotating table which i use for a laserscanning system. i consists of an arduino uno, easydriver and a stepper motor. the code on the arduino listens to the com port. if it receives a "S" the table moves 30degrees. the "S" is sendt by the laserscanning software. this works.
i would like to create a flashfile which has one button. if this button is pressed it should send a "S" to the arduino and the table should move 30degrees.
does anybody know how to do this or give me some starting links? this would be great! have a nice day.
Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual C# versions are available free from Microsoft. Each of them allows you to create a form with a button, and have the application connect to the serial port to talk to the Arduino. It's very easy in C#, and not all that difficult in other languages. All cheaper than Flash, too.
I have a C# application that lets you choose a serial port that the Arduino might be connected to, and the baud rate. It has a connect button, and a text field where you can type data, and a text field to see the responses.
It would be trivial to remove the text field(s), and add a button that would send a single letter.
PM me, with an e-mail address, if you are interested in going that route.

... for however long it takes to starve any competitors to death. I also believe that you aren't allowed to sell anything you do with those "free" applications. So, are you going to go through learning them and then pick up a new language? Or are you going to shrug, say "Oh well", and pay?
I believe Lazarus could do the same thing.
I know Delphi could, but it isn't open source... but Lazarus is sort of an "open source Delphi".
I believe Netbeans could.
Anyone know of other ways to achieve the OP's wants without aiding and abetting Microsoft's rise to world domination and the extinction of other software alternatives?
