Serial communication (for Arduino) using Visual Studio 2008 and C

问题

I want to send data to my Arduino board using Visual Studio and C. I specifically need to use C since I am using ARToolKit to get markers and sending the data accordingly.

I was trying the code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
    system( "MODE COM9: BAUD=9600 PARITY=n DATA=8 STOP=1" ) ;
    FILE port = fopen( "COM9:", "wb" ) ;
    printf("hello");
    fprintf( port, "s" ) ;
    fclose( port ) ;
}

but it is not getting compiled.

I just need to send data.

I understood from your post that you need to send data using visual studio not to write a program to flash or any other stuff. Here is an example i made for you on my machine it works sending the text test.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    char test[] = "Hello";

    HANDLE hDevice = CreateFile(L"COM2",GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,0,0);

    if (hDevice !=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
    {
        printf("Port opened! \n");
        DCB lpTest;
        GetCommState(hDevice,&lpTest);
        lpTest.BaudRate = CBR_9600;
        lpTest.ByteSize = 8;
        lpTest.Parity = NOPARITY;
        lpTest.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT;
        SetCommState(hDevice,&lpTest);

        DWORD btsIO;

        WriteFile(hDevice,test,strlen(test),&btsIO,NULL);

        CloseHandle(hDevice);
    }
    _getch();


    return 0;
}

First thing to check is can you communicate to the arduino serial port at all. If you have XP or earlier it comes with hyperterm, windows vista+7 don't so you need something like http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/

ps - I'm not sure that the mode parameters created in a system call 'stick' to the calling environment or are reset when the shell exits. See example of windows serial port programming on how to do it properly

CPPWindows works but it is also in C++. For all of you who want to send serial data with OPENCV/ARTOOLKIT or something which is written in C (and not C++). The code i posted is working now. It required some changes. The final code is: (Not the change in the COM port)

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
    FILE* port;
    system( "MODE COM1: BAUD=9600 PARITY=n DATA=8 STOP=1" ) ;
    port = fopen( "COM1:", "wb" ) ;
    printf("s");
    fprintf( port, "s" ) ;
    fclose( port ) ;
}
