Oculus + drone + gimbal project, again.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to replicate what this team has done here: https://github.com/Matsemann/oculus-fpv.

Basically I'm trying to mount a gimbal to the bottom of a drone and controlling where two cameras will point via the oculus.

I'm having trouble getting the values of yaw pitch and roll out from the oculus to a serial link using Visual Studio.

I'm able to get the numbers out from the Oculus via this:https://github.com/dleen/Minimal-Oculus-Application-0.4.x.

But specifically, I'm having trouble with sending that serial data to a com port.

I've found the following two resources, but I'm not having any luck:
http://playground.arduino.cc/Interfacing/CPPWindows
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3061/Creating-a-Serial-communication-on-Win
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/992/Serial-library-for-C


Any tips?

Thanks!
