In this project, we will be making a Controlled Arduino that control LED through PC with Visual Basic. It’s a fairly quick project and can be used either on its own or part of something bigger.
List of Material

Below is the preview and source code of CAP code.Upload Arduino_Remote.ino to Arduino, Execute Visual Basic program from debug folder/VB_Remote.exe , and you should have no problem.
Enjoy!

After making sure that everything works smoothly, you can take this project into bigger project that need Controlled Arduino. Power through batteries or a plug and you’re good to go!
