Send data to pc via WIFI

Squirrel Code

I want to attach a distance sensor to an Arduino and I want to use an electric imp shield to send the data’s to my pc. Does anyone have maybe a link that can help me?

Point to note: you can’t connect to your PC directly via WiFi: you’ll need to get the data to your device’s agent, and it can be read by the PC from there (the agent can work as a simple web server). Also it might be easier just to connect the sensor to the Electric Imp.

I wanted to use the arduino to calibrate and calculate the distance and use the imp to send the data to the server which i can download afterwards on my pc. Is that possible?

Should be. Send the data from the Arduino to the imp via UART, then relay the data to the agent. Check out our UART Guide and our Dev Guide on device-agent-web communications for a start.

these external web services may be of use to handle your data uploads from imp agent and also handle analysis / export to pc:

Wolfram DataDrop, SparkFun Phant and Keen IO can be added with three lines of code (at the top of your program):

`#require "WolframDataDrop.class.nut:1.0.0"
#require "Phant.class.nut:1.0.0"
#require "KeenIO.class.nut:1.0.0"`
