[NOTE! arduino-serial has been greatly updated. See the “Arduino-serial: updated!” post for details]
The Arduino’s USB port is actually a serial port in disguise. To your computer it appears as a ‘virtual’ serial port. This is good news if you want to write custom code on your computer to talk with the Arduino, as talking to serial ports is a well-solved problem. (Unfortunately, so well-solved that there’s many ways of solving it.)
On the Arduino forum there’s been a few requests for some example C code of how to talk to Arduino. The nice thing about standard POSIX C code is that it works on every computer (Mac/Linux/PC) and doesn’t require any extra libraries (like what Java and Python need). The bad thing about C is that it can be pretty incomprehensible.
Dec 06, 2006 Example Use. Send the single ASCII character “6” to Arduino. Laptop%./arduino-serial -b 9600 -p /dev/tty.usbserial -s 6. This would cause the Arduino to blink 6 times if you’re using the serialreadblink.pde sketch from Spooky Arduino. Send the string “furby” to Arduino. Laptop%./arduino-serial -b 9600 -p /dev/cu.usbserial -s furby. Programming teacher as refere me to DEV C so I don't need to buy a new computer, to have VS10, to code at home. Being a student, I aint rich so I can't buy computer yearly. How ever, I've learn to code using Arduino than ESP stuff, but I've ever really touch C for a computer a computer. How To Use Dev C in C Programming Projects and Arduino Projects. Edmond Hitayezu. Tutorial 06 for Arduino: Serial Communication and Processing - Duration: 20:00. Jeremy Blum 784,400. What are the advantages of C vs the Arduino language when using Arduino? I'm experienced in preprocessed languages like JavaScript, PHP, and have fiddled with languages like Java and Visual Basic. First, the Arduino compiler/IDE accepts C and C as-is. In fact many of the libraries are written in C.
Here is arduino-serial.c (github for full source), a command-line C program that shows how to send data to and receive data from an Arduino board. It attempts to be as simple as possible while being complete enough in the port configuration to let you send and receive arbitrary binary data, not just ASCII. It’s not a great example of C coding, but from it you should be able to glean enough tricks to write your own stuff.
Usage
Example Use
Send the single ASCII character “6” to Arduino
This would cause the Arduino to blink 6 times if you’re using the serial_read_blink.pde sketch from Spooky Arduino.
Send the string “furby” to Arduino Api 2000 6th edition pdf.
Receive data from Arduino
The output is what you would expect if you were running the serial_hello_world.pde sketch from Spooky Arduino.
Send ASCII string “get” to Arduino and receive result

How To Use Dev-c 2b 2b With Arduino Code
There are three interesting functions that show how to implement talking to serial ports in C:
int serialport_init(const char* serialport, int baud)
— given a serial port name and a speed, return a file descriptor to the open serial port.int serialport_write(int fd, const char* str)
— write out a string on the given a serial port file descriptorint serialport_read_until(int fd, char* buf, char until, int timeout)
— read from serial port into a buffer until a given character is received or timeout reached
You can and should write improved versions of the read and write functions that better match your application.

Update 8 Dec 2006:
Justin McBride sent in a patch because it turns out Linux’s termios.h doesn’t define B14400 & B28800. I’ve updated arduino-serial.c to include the patch, but commented out for now. No one uses those baudrates much anyway. :) If you need them, uncomment the additions out, or better yet, download Justin’s tarball that includes the changes and a Makefile to auto-detect your platform.
Update 26 Dec 2007:
Added ability to sent binary bytes with the ‘-n’ flag.
Added a delay option so you can open a port, wait a bit, then send data. This is useful when using an Arduino Diecimila which resets on serial port open.
Update 29 Apr 2013:
I apologize to everyone who has commented on this post but who hasn’t received a reply. This code has had a much longer life than I expected and it was hard to get back to it to fix some of its obvious deficiencies.
I did finally get back to it (but not the comments). I’ve rewritten arduino-serial a bit and added some new options. Hopefully this will address many of the issues people have had. You can read about the changes in the “Arduino-serial: updated!” post.

Also, arduino-serial now lives on Github at:https://github.com/todbot/arduino-serial
Please post issues and patches there. Thanks!
A free, open-source, portable and extensible C/C++ IDE. Old Bloodshed versions are buggy and ship with a very outdated GCC compiler. Do yourself a favor: don't use the old versions. See 'info' for alternatives.
Between 2011 and 2015, Orwell, a developer independent from Bloodshed (the original developers of Dev-C++), released improved and updated versions of Dev-C++. Therefore, it is not recommended to stick with the old Bloodshed Dev-C++ versions. Consider upgrading to for example:
- Orwell Dev-C++ is free, open-source, ships with a 64bit compiler including less outdated resources like the Windows 7 API, and can be made fully portable with zero effort. However, it's not actively maintained and has no support for the last 3 C++ standards (14/17/20)
- Microsoft has a freeware version of their excellent Visual Studio IDE available here.
- NetBeans, free, open-source, cross-platform IDE (see 'C and C++ Development')
- Qt Creator is a free, open-source, cross-platform IDE for building C++ applications.
- Code::Blocks is often hailed as the obvious replacement for Dev-C++. It is free, open-source, cross-platform, and can be extended with plugins.
- Eclipse is also a free, open-source, cross-platform IDE with pretty robust C++ support.

And of course, countless others are available.
So do yourself and everyone else a favor: don't use Dev-C++, and certainly not Bloodshed Dev-C++
