Hi, all,
I am a beginner for the programming in smart device. I want to use the smart device (ppc or smartphone) to get 8-bits data from an external device (MCU). Could anyone tell me it is possible and give me some reference
Thanks.

Could the smart device get data from the external device?

What cable Serial cable USB cable Network cable Your custom made cable
If that's custom device, there's no library/drivers and there are no links because nobody has this device but you.
You have to write your own custom library to communicate with your custom device and create links after you done.
It's a way easer if device connects to the standard serial port. In that case you could use System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class, but particular protocol implementation is up to you.

Hi, Ilya
Thank for giving the aspect. I have done some search and found several wireless communication methods like infraRed and bluetooth. However, what I want is to connect a wired cable from pocket PC to the MCU. Is there any examples / functions for me to control the port
Thanks again.

Only you can answer that as it's specific to your device and interface it uses. Firs you need to connect MCU to device physically using whatever common interface they have and then use interface specific software for communications.

Hi, Ilya
Sorry for making confusion. I want to know how to send / receive from the cable for pocket PC through the cable. I think there may be some library / function for me to do that. As I am not sure, could you give me some hints / reference links
Many thanks.
