where i start?

hello to everybody.. :slight_smile:
i' have a question:
i've made a simple application in visual studio 2005 :D(a leg that kick a ball)
and i want to move that leg using an accellerometer on arduino...
how can i do that :-?
what i' m asking is where i start to make a program like that interact with arduino :-
?
thanks for the answer and sorry for my orrible english ::slight_smile:

Hi,

i think the simplest way to interface the arduino to your program is the serial port. In Visual C++ you can open a stream with the name of the COM-port as filename (or use any free available serial library) and then read the acceleration values from the serial port.

good luck
