Sinve VB.net Express is free from Microsoft I decided to use that to control everything (though it’s a huge download). I describe here a mini project where I modified the “Controlling a Digital Potentiometer Using SPI” and combined it with controlling a high-current DC motor (though I’m just using a low current computer fan for now…). I looked through the various tutorials on the ITP site and, which were very helpful. My goal is to hack my table tennis robot and have it controlled by my PC however, before I can get to that stage I needed to learn more about the interfacing the Arduino. I’ve searched this forum and found bits and pieces of information on how to control an Arduino using a VB.net app on my Windows PC but didn’t see exactly what I wanted.


Hi, I’m new to the Arduino (I just purchased one last week).
