I just purchased the BASIC stamp discovery kit with USB cable. Any resources or articles on simple projects·on how to use·Visual Studio in C# or VB to communicate with the BASIC Stamp?

Thanks

You'll want to search their literature on how to open a com port. From there it's just a serial link.

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio and C#. I used to use VB.·You use a serial·port object.

Here is an an example of an open statement.


··· private void openConnectionButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

··· {· if (serialPort1.IsOpen) return;

···· ··try

·········· { serialPort1.Open(); }

·······catch (Exception ex1)

········· ·{ BTtxt.Text = ex1.ToString().Substring(0, 12); }

····}



Most of the above code is generated automatically for you by Visual Studio.
