Can I use powershell to communicate with my Arduino board ?

I can open the port, but I don't see the normal output that I do from Putty or the built-in terminal monitor

Thanks

Did you set all the necessary communication parameters?

is this not correct: $port= new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM4,9600,None,8,one

I verified Putty and the Arduino IDE are on Com4

Thanks

BUT! did you set the DTR line do your Arduino can be reset and started over, like the IDE?

5

Not sure what that means. The app on the board restarts for the IDE and Putty, why would it not start for anything thing else that opens that com port ? Are there any special characters that I need to prod the board with ?

Thanks

Doing some more research I found several web-pages that state "... when the serial/comm port is opened, the board will automatically reset."

I just need to find out why the Power-Shell script does not cause it to reset ?
I put some code in the main look and it does communicate, but no reset.

Thanks
