Using SWING to create a GUI for PC to Microcontroller connection...
Hello,
I am currently undertaking a project task regarding the connection of a microcontroller (uC) to a host pc.Our main task now is to create a GUI that would display information stored on the uC.
I was just wondering if SWING will be able to accomodate the following:
1) The uC will be hooked up either through ETHERNET LAN cable or a USB WIFI adapter. The host pc running Java will have a GUI that would be able to locate this IP address of the uC and connect to it.
2) We have verified that a telnet connection from a pc to the uC works. We could successfully, get the necessary files needed from the uC.
3) The contents of the files we want are just a bunch of serial numbers. We have uC run a code and store the output into a file. This file would then be transfered to the host pc.
4) In the end, we want to send this data wirelessly, instead of using the LAN CABLE.
My question now is would SWING be a good option in implementing this GUI. I have taken a JAVA course a 2 yeasr ago so I am still familiar with some JAVA basics but I have not delved into the networking aspects of JAVA, which I do know it has.
I await your kind responses,
thanks.
