I need to interface my microcontroller with pc(win 7) via USB port and control it with Qt GUI

alfie.max15

I am using Qt creator for creating a GUI application for my PC. i would be using USB cable to connect my board to PC. what i need to know is that how can i use Qt to create a GUI to control my PC mouse pointer with the data received from the RX and TX of the uC...

i did find a link... and truthfully the only link...

http://www.instructables.com/id/Control-your-arduino-from-your-PC-with-the-Qt-Gui/?ALLSTEPS

but even in this i have doubts cos it uses Qtextserialport... is this the same library that i have to use...?(for USB?)

i am a newbee... Please help me....

Based on your title and an on your description, you're not very clear. What would you like to achieve ?

Control your board from the Qt application.
Control your Qt application from the board.

In either case if your board has a RS232 link you want to use, QextSerialPort is one good choice, there is also now a QSerialPort for Qt 5.

Serial ports whether over DB9 or USB are still serial ports, so you don't have to worry about that. It will be a COM port.

Hope it helps

what i am trying to achieve is...

First of all i am not going to use my board... cos my project is based on creating a product..
so after programming the uC it will be in a different circuit board for a specific purpose...

and now this device will be connected via a USB cable...

so i understand the data is transferred via RX and TX to the D+ and D- of the USB cable....ri8??

pls correct me if i state a blunder...

so what happens is that according to the data that is transmitted from the uC i want to control the mouse pointer of my system..

the help that i need is :

Read data(also writing to uC could be useful later) from the USB port....in Qt creator application
Control mouse movement and clicking within the system
I want this application to run in the background listening to the com port and responding while doing so...

i hope i have made myself clear what needs to be done in my project...

please any help would be
