I have simple question that I hope someone here would be able to help me answer. I have a small robot that I have build using an arduino. I bought a kit from Amazon to get my feet wet in the arduino robotics world. This is the link to the kit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DPH0SWY?psc=1
I have the robot completed, however, I would like to not only see the log window when the arduino is connected to my computer and I run the program/code, I would also like to see the log steps when my robot is disconnected from the computer and is performing the steps in code - Is that possible? do I need to buy some kind of arduino extender so that I can perhaps use wifi as way to communicate with the Arduino wirelessly and perhaps log the steps. I'm looking to be able to debug my code while the robot is actually running.
Thanks Delta G,
So can I just buy that board and connected to my arduino using available pins? Sorry for the noob question, I'm just trying to understand how to use it and what to buy. Do you know if I buy it than would there be an interface for it to connect to my wireless router?
You could store the data on SD, and thus not be connected to anything.
A simpler way might be to simply buy a pair of wireless serial adaptors like these. If I understand correctly, it appears to the Arduino and PC that they are connected with a usb cable. Not sure if sketch upload can be done also using these modules.
Thanks Paul RB. I actually end up buying a blue tooth sensor and using putty as a way to log. While the robot is moving. I really appreciate your response I'm going to buy these anyways it looks like this will become handy.
