Galileo + Shield Wi-fi Connecton

Projects Programming
1

Hi! I have to make a project where I need to send an analogic value from the Galileo to the Processing computer software. We are using a Galileo and a Xpico Wifi Shield. Our professor told us to send the information via TCP/IP. Using a client and a server. Is it possible to make the server in the arduino and the client in processing?

Can anyone help me telling me where to start or can give me an example of how to transfer the data via shield?

Yes, but that doesn't make sense. A client can ask a server to do something with some data. If the Arduino has the data, it doesn't make sense for it to be the server.

What we want is to send the analog values from the arduino to the computer so we can graph that values on processing. So, what should we do instead? I don´t understand at all how does the server and the client fucntions.

So it seems like your first move should be to do some googling and learning.

Why not just connect the Arduino to the serial port, and use Serial.print()?

That will make programming clients or servers most difficult.

That is what I was doing but there isn´t to much information about how to receive and send information with the shield. That´s why I am asking for help on here. I tought this forum was for asking for help among other things.

This project has to use the shield for a wifi comunication, making it by a serial communication is a lot easier.

There is PLENTY of information, IF you know what a server does and what a client does.
