Very well done tutorial. If I could make one suggestion, it is to teach new programmers to always put the constant first in an expression that compares a variable to a constant, e.g. ' if ('A' == d1)'. This is a good practice to get into, because if you were to mistakenly type 'if (d1 = 'A')' instead of 'if(d1 == 'A')', the code would compile, you would assign the value 'A' to d1, and it would always evaluate to TRUE. By putting the constant first, if you mistakenly type '=' instead of '==', you will get a compile error. Sometimes bugs like this are easily introduced and easily overlooked.
Just want to say thanks for this! Im not using an arduino but Im using a PIC micro. It works the same way once you get serial coms all set up :) but it works! Im going to watch your next video and then figure out how to read serial data.
How to constantly check if COM port is connected/disconnected? Maybe like every 5 seconds. Also, I publish VS project to single file (self-contain) so I can copy the executable program and run it in different pc. But the file size is too large (~140 mb). How to reduce it to small size? If I leave serial port monitor in Arduino IDE open, WPF form can't connect to COM port. It says "COM port is not accessible. That's normal right?
I don't want to "byte you" (😂) but what a damn great video!! You made communicating between the Arduino and a C# GUI as simple as can be! AWESOME content and I liked and subscribed. Keep rocking the house!! 🙂
This was an outstanding tutorial and I appreciate it very much. May I ask if you have any suggestions for how to reduce the lag between the moment I click the GUI buttons and the response time for each of those steps on the board. Could it be helped by a particular compiling method, or will it never go faster due to the serial com's 9600 baud rate? ... or any other ideas would be really helpful as I need to set some equipment up in a lab for work. Thank you very very much for this tutorial, even if you don't have any ideas on that.
You could try to compile the program as a stand alone .exe program that does not run within Visual Studio. I'm not sure that you can do it with the Community Edition, but there may be other ways it can be done. Good luck.
That is the video I have been looking for. I need to make a GUI. Temperature, speed, weight etc are been reading from a robots sensor. Robot is sending the data via esp32. How can I read the data and use on GUI like you? It is almost same that you did on serie but there should be wireless communication.
would you be able to let us know how to install the ardunio tools in visual studio? and i also got this error when i have installed it "ASCIIEncodingSealed Doesnt exist in type ASCIIEncoding"
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Caiden Kenneth Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Is there a way to actually program with a GUI like this? Sending serial is one thing, Im wondering if this can be made to permanently change values in the base program?
My problem lied when i clicked the turn off button and nothing happened its just got the message in the coding stater 'the port 'COM5' does not exist.'
Hi! I have tried it and my code is also exactly same as in video and can't find any error but still I am not able to switch in the led....I just have different board (which Shouldn't matter).
the problem is writing the code yourself because if you want to add buttons in this you should not write the code yourself you should double tap on the element like button on the form design and then write the code inside that button block in the code. i dont know why but there is a reference in the code you can notice the difference when you write the function yourself and whe you double tap on the element to make the function
Actually I found the issue, I had Arduino serial port open so the serial port was busy fixed by turning off the serial port of Arduino and sometimes I had to close Arduino all together
@@mohamedadam3085 Hey, can you tell me how you turned off the serial port of the Arduino? I have the same issue you had and putting in an 'Serial.end();' command in the Arduino code didn't fix the problem.
Yeah, I've got the same issue. I'm very appreciative of learning this, but that lag is a problematic issue. If you learn any ways to improve or resolve it, I'd really appreciate it if you could come back to this comment reply and point me in the right direction. Best wishes for your success.
Hi, Thanks a lot, its really greate effort and great knowledge. i need to do a project for a preset position linear actuator with a DC motor abd a stepper motor, with Arduino Mega or UNO but i am not able to write the code and the scheme, can you please help. Regards
hello and good day, I have been following this tutorial and it seem I cannot turn on the led on and off, but when I click on the GUI the the RX led blinked once but the led on pin13 did not light up. am I missed some of the steps?
Button click to actual LED turning on has SUPER LAG. It takes about 1sec to actually change state after pressing the button. Picked much faster baud rate, but no change. Without question the slow feedback is an issue with Visual Studio, not the mcu. How to solve this?
When I created the program, I did not experience any lag. You may want to verify that you did all of the communications setup correctly by comparing it with the program in the video.
thank you for this very helpful video. when I want to add a second yes no button and connect it to another pin on the arduino. Should I call the data char d2? how can the arduino know the difference between d1 and d2?
U can do like when we press second "ON" button, instead of sending "A", visual studio will send any other character like "B" and in Arduino code, if we get "B", turn the second led on. Simple u don't need to add d2
it works not...... if system gives a COM Port to the ardurino no other program or GUI can use the same port because the port cannot be shared between different programs. COM does not dont like when 2 persons are talking to him at the same time, like me

Best teacher i have seen in a very long time.
I've so much problems with Arduino serial communication and your explanation was really help full for me , thanks man .

you deserve a donation for this good piece of work thanks a lot

I thought I was listening to physicist Dr. Michio Kaku... 😊 Thanks for the tutorial...
Explanation was awesome but can you also teach how to integrate scan port and baud rate buttons
How to constantly check if COM port is connected/disconnected? Maybe like every 5 seconds.

why dont you use the ardurino IDE extension in visual studio and python to make GUI-Application
you explanation is sweet and straight, keep it up
Very clear explanations. Thank you.
Thanks so much, I can see how to adapt this to an Excel user form to start, stop and collect data.

Great video series! I just programmed my first gui button.
Amazing video, just what I was after
What should be add to send data to the PC application. Let's say to get the reading of a temperature sensor
My "String" Function is not Hihlihted or change to color blue, On my ARDUINO IDE... Why is that?

this is for wired communication

My problem lied when i clicked the turn off button and nothing happened its just got the message in the coding stater 'the port 'COM5' does not exist.'
if i use in this case. i can't serial.print "xxxx" ?
My first GUI ,ty for video
how would you implement a drop down that lets you select the serial port, instead of hard coding it into the properties?
you can show example by sofewareserial?
Nice project. Posting/providing the code would have been nice😶

Is the visual studio a free download?
Teaching from heart , thanks madem
have you ever made a GUI for a PIR motion sensor ?
Muito obrigado. Vídeo maravilhoso
finally found thanks to the author
How long should it take for the led to turn on after the button click? Im trying to make it instant but it takes about 1.5 seconds

I'm new, why'd you use 9600 as the serial#?
9600 Baud is the serial communications rate of transfer of data between the Arduino and the PC.
hello and good day, I have been following this tutorial and it seem I cannot turn on the led on and off, but when I click on the GUI the the RX led blinked once but the led on pin13 did not light up. am I missed some of the steps?
You probably did not type the code in exactly as shown in the video. Carefully compare your code with the video's to see what is different.
@@byteme8708 thank you for the reply, its my mistake for messing up the serial part. I had fixed it and it totally worked. Many thanks
