Hey Mel,

Thanks for the additional information. I think it's too late for this project though. I have already spun the boards. My in/outs are on B.4 and B.5 of the 16F628a.

Well, between the T2400, SerOut vs SerOut2, setting the line high for true data, the problem has been resolved. Before each transmission I put the data line in a high state. Works fine. Thanks...

I changed the baud rate setting from 396 to T2400 and the correct data was sent out. What's the difference between 396 and T2400? I don't know. Something similar to this happened before and I...

You are correct, I clicked on the wrong link when I was looking at dataseets yesterday. As I mentioned earlier, the circuit was working for quite awhile so I made a few boards. Now I see there are...

Sorry about that. I left out some important information. I am using a 16F628A, it does not have a USART so I am unable to use HSER function. Thanks for the suggestion though. I am also using the...

I have a PIC to PC and PC to PIC circuit operating just fine. However, when the circuit is moved to different PC's, I have noticed the data coming from the PC is not always detected by the PIC. It...

Does this mean then in VB6 I can select a USB port just the same as a "normal" comm port?

I am using PIC Basic Pro, version I am unsure of. It does have USBIN, USBOUT, USBINIT, and USBSERVICES.

I will investigate all your suggestions. Thanks again to all.

First, thanks for the responses. Very informative.

So, just so I have it straight, I should download MicroCodeStudio for the template for VB6. I also need to get MicroCodeStudio Plus for the...

It has occured to me that VB6 does not support USB ports, right?
.NET does?
The PIC end of this has a three pin, 0.100 centers, header; Gnd, transmit, and receive. The end I need to mess with is...

Mackrackit, what kind of handshaking is required with the Belkin cable?

My '628A PIC is surface mount, the boards have been made. I think the boards were done before the PIC came out with USB,...

I have good working code to transmit serial data to and from a PIC 16F628A and a VB6 application. Now the request for a USB connection has come up. Has anyone played with a serial to USB converter?...

Again, thanks for the interest in my post. Changing the receive length property to 1 did not do any good. I think that tells MSCOM buffer what to expect. If the incoming string was a fixed length...

Thanks for the responce. Input Length is set 0.

I have since sent the input string to a label, visable property set to false, and so far every test I have done, not extensive mind you but...

I have been using MSCOMM for quite awhile, this problem has dah me stumpped for a week now.
Properties of MSCOMM:
DTREnable is True
EOFEnable is TruHandshaking is 0
InBufferSize is 3072...

Issue was with the way a form was being closed. For some unknown reason, Unload Me caused the program to stop running and close.

Jonil22,
Try adding MSCOMM1.InBufferCount = 0 at the end of the OnCom event.
You may want to close the port as soon as you have your data.

I was wondering if anyone has used VB6 with Vista yet. I have an application using a PIC and VB6's COM commands. The program has been working on Win2K and XP for quite some time. Vista has created...

Again, thanks for directing me to Inno.

I am attempting to add an icon to the users exe shortcut to the application. I have managed to direct Inno to load an icon file for the setup icon, but...

Will do. Thanks for the leads.

I have searched high and low in Micro$ofts' site and have not located their PDW for VB6. Once upon time I located it, but not this time around. Anyone locate the download I would appreciate the...

Only parameters I have at the moment are size, distance, and power requirements.

The size of the circuit board has to be about 1 inch tall and 1.5 wide. Powered by a 9 volt transistor battery...

Thanks to both.

Anyone use the RF transmitter in this Microchip device and the receiver in Microchips rfRXD0420?

I have had some success with transmitter/receiver modules, but these look very interesting. I'm...
