hi ,
i'm new in using arduino uno , i will use it in my graduation project , and my aim is to connect the arduino to the router using the usb cable , while the router is connected to the laptop through a network .
and connected it to WRT45GL router , now we could attach the usb cable of our arduino to the router insted of the laptop !! while we can get inside the router using the laptop and send output data to the serial port . now how to upload our sketches to the arduino , is this will be done as simple as it connected to the laptop?? , by attaching the cable and sending the .pde to the serial output of the router ???
i'm a little bit confused about this , i saw that the majority used the serial connection between the router and the arduino(not the usb cable) , i can't find a solution for using the usb cable to upload from the router instead of the laptop directly.
Why is this a vote?
Electronics is not a democracy, if 1000 people think something can be done it doesn't make it possible. That is down to the laws of Physics.
When you know a bit more about how the arduino works you might be a bit embarrassed about asking this question. For now just take it as a no, it can't be done like you want.
wow! i actually said that i'm new , also how do you know that everybody knows that much in electronics(maybe for some reason i have a problem with it) !!
i think i'm free to ask anything i want and if you didn't like the question you could not reply on it , no body forced you to read or reply if your so annoyed . nobody have to be embarrassed from any thing !!
There are various products available which enable you to put a device on the network with a USB port, and present that to a client (PC or whatever) as if the USB port was local to the client. So if the goal is just to plug the Arduino into (something) that is remote from you, and do Arduino-type things such as programming it, that might be possible.
On the other hand if you have an Arduino and want to talk to your program over the network, you might be able to achieve that by adding an Ethernet or similar interface to the Arduino. That could then plug into the router so that you could potentially access it from other devices on the network.
As usual, it all depends what your end goal is; you haven't said what you're trying to achieve.
thanx all, and i'm sorry for posting the question as a vote , that was a mistake.
@PeterH , this is very close to what i want , my goal is to control and programm the arduino by the router , while this router accessed by the laptop through a network , by sending data from the laptop ->router->arduino .
now i can send data from laptop to the router , but my problem is to interface between the router and the arduino to controll it.
that's exactly my goal . whats the best way for doing that?
