Hi, I am doing a project based on 8051 microcontroller. Requirements for the project are as follows: 1) I will be entering data into the system (8051 system), throughout the day, using a keypad. Just like billing machine 2)At the end of the day i want to transfer this data to my PC using RS232. The data could be in txt file.
Now so far i am able to establish communication between 8051 and PC and observe the result on hyperterminal. What do i have to do on PC side so that the data transfered by 8051 through RS232 gets stored as a file(data.txt) on my PC? Please let me know the OS(On the PC)that is required for the same as well.
Thanks, Ojas
The obvious thing. Either you send raw text data to the PC and have a terminal program log to file.
Or you use a file transfer protocol, where the PC terminal program realizes that it is receiving a file.
Or you write a specific program that talks with your microcontroller and where you acknowledge that you have received everything (so the microcontroller knows what to delete).
