Posts: 46,084
Hello all I have been doing extensive research on a VB interface to stamp I am
building a simple Driving simulator with 6 inputs need to take it into vb and
convert it using text1.text I was wondering do I need as max 232 to do this and
A link to some sample code it seems that to the best of my knowledge there is
not much documentation for the VB interface I have ordered books on VB and rs
232 but it only gives info on modem apps
I recently used a bs2 to dial a pager system and output an alpha message that
was kool.
very simple but need help with where to purchase VB interface to stamp or pic
anything any help would be appreciated. thanks jim HAPPY STAMPING.

standard MAX-232 inverter, and the code uses flow control so the Stamp
can control when data flows back and forth. You can find the article
(in PDF form) on the Parallax web site.

Exchange with Visual BASIC
I used Al Williams' RS-I to make connections convenient.

turns out that it was my fault I was using a development board and I need to
disc the programming pin in order for it to communicate with the vb rs232 line
my fault went back to the serial programs and they worked I feel stupid!!!!!!!!!
to spend that much time you see on a terminal program I can see the port and
input dont know why but can when using vb if the program pin is left connected
can't will need to research this one probably very simple answer. thanks for all
your help guys.

turned 'off' in VB. This signal is used by the
BS2 as a 'RESET' when it goes 'active'. 'active'
is the default way VB brings it up.
If you say: MSCOMM.DTREnable = FALSE before you
do MSCOMM.PortOpen = TRUE, then the DTR line will
not reset the Stamp, and you can run your program.
OR:
Simple Tx Use:
Comm.CommPort = 1 ' Using 'COM1' port
Comm.DTREnable = FALSE
Comm.PortOpen = TRUE ' Opens port.
Buffer = CHR$(Value)
Comm.Output = Buffer
