Re: Yet another Arduino based track timer...

I'm not really understanding the difficulty. The USB port on the Arduino is the physical connection to the computer. The firmware that you load into the Arduino through that same USB connection is what will do all of the timing and reporting to the computer. Thank you. I wasn't positive that the Ar...

The Arduino connects to the computer via the USB port.

OK I use the USB port on the computer. what connects the USB port?

Thanks

Re: Yet another Arduino based track timer...

Hi all,

I'm building this project and the only thing I can not figure out is how to connect the Arduino to the pc. What output from the Arduino connects to the Serial port on the pc for data collection? any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
