Interfacing with a Particle Photon

[bvolz1]

I am interested if anyone in the community knows anything about interfacing cvi with a particle device like a photon, or even another brand such as arduino. I would like to see if I can send values from the particle cloud to cvi for a panel readout with gauges and such? Not sure how fesable this is, but I appreciate the input.

Thanks

For a standalone arduino, it is like standart serial communication. I have done this many times.

You can use the CVI RS-232 library to implement the protocol between PC and arduino. The arduino sketch should also be prepared accordingly. Do not forget that opening the COM port resets the arduino. If this is a problem, you need to remove some components from your arduino to eliminate auto-reset feature.

For photon I do not have any experience. I think TCP communication is required. Again it will be upto you to implement the data representation protocols on both sides.
