I'm trying to do a project which using a sensor to sense the presence
of a object .then displaying the counter on the computer screen using
visual basic through the stamp .
The problem i encounter is i'm new and poor in the knowledge of the
connection between the computer and stamp .it means that i don't know
how to connect the stamp to transfer the data to the computer .I also
don't know about acquiring a signal from the port of the computer
using the visual basic .I can only program the stamp to send one
signal at output for one presence of object .
Can somebody solve the problem i faced .Thanks you very much .

    I wrote an article in my Nuts & Volts column last year on this subject.
    GOTO www.parallax.com and checkout the Nuts & Volts article section --
    you'll find it in last year's book.

    Keep in mind that between Scott Edwards, Lon Glazner, and me, there are
    a lot of projects in the Nuts & Volts columns and we've even made them
    handy to have on your desk with our "Nuts & Volts of BASIC Stamps" book
    series.

    If you search the archive of this group (search for visual basic),
    there are some posts on the control you use in visual basic for
    serial communications. You can also search the web for mscomm.
    Hope this helps.
