Hi:

I need to know if can I use visual basic
to move the steppers.

Do you have some information ?
This BiStep Motor Controller (USB) has USB
and could be complicated for me because
I don't know how to do that.

Thanks, Joe

    Windows is supposed to take care of the USB part once you've installed the proper drivers. To Visual Basic, this should just look like a serial device. Have you read the documentation? There's a link to a Quick Start Guide on the product webpage on Parallax's website. Start there.

    The documentation on the CD included with the BiStep includes VB examples.
