Arduino Wifi Shield to VBasic Integration

Hi, good day, I am making a project that:

*when button A is pressed, "1" is transmitted wirelessly to the laptop via wifi shield., and when "1" is detected,via serial monitor, Candidate 1 is incremented by 1 vote and would be displayed on a visual basic interface program

VBasic program will serve as the live feed system for the voting process

I have seen a lot of tutorials but it is the VBasic program controlling the arduino, I wanted to do it the opposite way.

This is a rough principle and I am hoping someone will help me understand. I am new to VBasic coding. Thank you!

This is an Arduino Forum and it sounds as if your Arduino program is working properly.

The business of writing a VBasic program to receive and interpret data received by WiFi is a matter for a VBasic Forum. Presumably you need to create a simple web server with VBasic and the Arduino will act as a client sending data to the server.

I do that sort of thing with Python and the Bottle web framework

...R

Thank you for your inputs, I wil try and post this same topic on VBasic forum, Thanks Again!
