hi all i am doing a project in which i need to capture the serial port data which is coming from a microcontroller kit.i have to use VB.i found that using MScomm this can be done.i tried but not getting.can anybody please help with code or some ideas. regards
This is a forum about Keil products. Neither VB nor MSComm are Keil products. See http://msdn.microsoft.com That's the site for all MS developer tools - including VB and MSComm. There's also tons of stuff on MSComm all over the web - just google. Remember: as far as MSComm is concerned, the fact that it may be talking to an 8051 is entirely irrelevant. All it knows is that it sends bytes to a COM port, and receives bytes from a COM port. Where those bytes go after they leave the port, or how they come to arrive at the port are of no concern whatever.
Here's a link for you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/comm98/html/vbobjComm.asp In windows, you can also transfer data via COM: ports using the standard file functions - again, see MSDN and google.
thanks Neil
