  • Data acquisition in lab projects



Sample Software:

Control of the WiFi Servo Controller can be achieved via two methods. The first method involves creating a virtual COM port on the host PC that the software will connect to and send data. This virtual port then forwards the data on to the WiFi Servo Controller. The second method involves using a direct TCP/IP connection to the WiFi Servo Controller. While using the COM port method is a bit easier for beginners it does require another application to create the virtual COM port. The direct TCP/IP connection on the other hand will consilidate all control into one appication but its a litte more difficult to get going initially. Examples for both connection methods can be found below.

Lantronix CPR software:

To use the COM Port based control software with the WiFi Servo Controller a virtual COM port must be mapped to the WiFi Servo Controller. The Lantronix Com Port Redirector software is required for this function. Get it here:
