GUI calandar interface for Arduino in C# or VB

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
1

Hello. I have used a little bit of C# and Visual Basic before but this is my first time programming for Arduino. I am looking to create a calander GUI interface in C# that will allow the user to turn lights on and off as well as control a valve to water a plant bast on a caledar schedual. I am aware that one can use C# to communicate with Arduino although this will be my first time attempting to do so. I was just curious if there are any issues or information that I should know in advance in getting the two to communicate.Are theyre any possible issues that may come up that I don't know about?

Thank you in advance

Welcome in the wonderfull world of Arduino

I was just curious if there are any issues or information that I should know in advance in getting the two to communicate.Are theyre any possible issues that may come up that I don't know about?

Yes there are many, start with reading the tutorial section and reference section to get an idea of the capabilities of the Arduino. Also the playground is a good place to browse for some code. For the rest get started, it doesn;t matter how well you prepare there will allways be new /unkown things thats part of the fun!

Succes,
Rob
