Arduino Host (Slow test)
This system makes the arduino just a host controller, or more specifically a relay to the arduino pins for a client program on the computer to use.
It lets the main code be done in C# and then C# will instruct arduino what ports to read, switch on or off etc.
At this stage the essential roundtrip time was around 18 ms for a command due to COM port being rather slow. It's all in general fun test project and despite being excessively slow, it can be used to do quite a few things like data logging on computer of voltages and such.
In the video, C# is manually communicating with the LCD screen through arduino, but at a very slow rate due to exponential time it takes to "bitbang" all arduino pins considering the command roundtrip takes 18 ms, and an LCD screen command is like 5-10 pin state changes.
The project is in unfinished state and is not reliable to be released.
