why people do not spare few minutes to explain the problem and then wait for others to spend much more to give answers is a mystery to me.

From your question: "[][]" it is difficult to be sure. However, the best guess is via the SerialPort[^] class, which can talk via RS232/RS485 or USB.

If you want more, give more detail.

BTW: The more detail you give in a question, the better the quality of an answer. Minimalism is all very well, but...

From the name, the OP is not a native English speaker. It is better IMHO to give him an answer and explain than to ignore him. :laugh:

There are really quite some options all of which depend on what interfaces your "other hardware" and which of these your computer has.

USB:
Host requirement: USB host adapter
HW requirement: USB adapter

CAN:
Host requirement: PC CAN adapter
HW requirement: CAN enabled

WiFi, LAN:
Host requirement: LAN (Connected to a WiFi Access point) or WiFi
HW requirement: LAN or WiFi adapter

I²C Bus:
Host requirement: USB to I²C host adapter (see here e.g.: http://www.i2cchip.com/pdfs/i2c2pc.pdf[^])
HW requirement: I²C interface

I didn't mention the serial port as OriginalGriff already pointed that one out.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

Best regards,
Manfred
