I'm developing a college project and I'm having troubles with a part of my code: I want to know if it's possible send a command (character type) to Arduino via serial monitor remotely, without the need of typing ENTER after the character . I mean, I want to send a character via a bluetooth control (to control a toy car) and didn't want to have to press two buttons for each command...
I hope I have been clear.
Not with the Serial Monitor included with Arduino, but search around for a serial console. I've heard good things about hyperterminal.
Pretty sure you can with hyperterminal. If not, check the freeware listings. I'd be surprised if a linux user couldn't do the job from console with a shell script.

Yes I don't know what the others are on about.
Just send it to the serial port and have the arduino code pick it up.
Mike, you have to press enter in the serial monitor to get it to send data. The OP doesn't want to have to press enter, but just press a key and have it sent immediately.
Yes sorry I see what he is on about now.
Any other sort of terminal emulator on the main computer would send the characters as you pressed the keys, like putty or ZTerm
Ok, I'll try the hyperterminal. I thought the Arduino IDE would have a function for that...
Thanks for the help!
