# ArduinoCLI
# Bang
## Arduino based command line interface.
Make your Windows, Mac, or Linux host available as a "service" for your Arduino (and any other serial-USB capable microcontroller such as the ESP32) and execute any commands on it's behalf and receive the captured results! Anything you can do at a terminal prompt can be done on behalf of the Arduino with any output captured and sent back to the Arduino to do whatever it wants with it.

Play, pause, and stop music files on the host, use the PC's large disk drive for Arduino accessible storage, get the current date & time, issue curl commands to post or retrieve anything on the web or to control your local Hue Bridge and Lights, retrieve the current weather, tell the host machine to reboot, check if the host machine is alseep. The possibilities are endless! All using the simplest of Arduino's with no additional modules or connections needed besides the Serial-USB communications.

So far I have written and added the following sketches to the **[examples](https://github.com/ripred/ArduinoCLI/tree/main/examples)** folder:

## Using ArduinoCLI in your Arduino sketches
## Using Bang in your Arduino sketches

To use ArduinoCLI in your sketches, simply use `Serial.println( "!command" )` to send the command to the USB (COM) port used by your Arduino.
To use Bang in your sketches, simply use `Serial.println( "!command" )` to send the command to the USB (COM) port used by your Arduino.

For example, to tell the host to echo a string to the display you could issue the call:

`Serial.println("!echo 'hello, arduino!'");`

**If you want to be able to use the Serial monitor separately from using ArduinoCLI** then you will need to connect an FTDI USB-ttl adapter to your Arduino and specify its COM port in the arduino_exec.py source file instead of the port that your Arduino uses. Most of the example sketches show the use of an FTDI USB-ttl adapter in their source. You do not *have* to use an FTDI adapter unless you want to continue to use the Serial monitor while the sketch is running.
