Hello everyone, I'm working on a project where I want to send data from phpMyAdmin to a GSM using Arduino.
But for the first part I've created a database and I want to send its data to Arduino so it can appear on the Serial monitor.
I'm wondering if it's possible or not.
Where is the data? On a pc? How does it get to the Arduino?
Once it's there sending it using GSM is easy!
The data is in a PC (phpMyAdmin) and I don't know if I can send it to Arduino
How far apart is the pc and Arduino? Metres? Miles?
They are connected with the Arduino's USB Cable
So in a nutshell you need to write some software for your pc that sends the data to the serial port, then the Arduino can read that and use GSM for onward transmission.
Although this is an Arduino forum there is a section further down the board about 'Interfacing with software on the computer' which you may find interesting?
Okay thanks
Or, if you are feeling ambitious, look up 'ethernet'.
Yeah, that's what I used.
thank u
