send serial data to PIC 16f84 ausing VB6

need help here...
ive try to turn 'on' the LED through PIC 16f84
can one help me:

VB6 code :
Private Sub Form_Load()

' Use COM1
MSComm1.CommPort = 1

' 2400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
MSComm1.Settings = "2400,N,8,1"

' Disable DTR
MSComm1.DTREnable = False

' Open the port
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
InputLen = 0
RThreshold = 0

End Sub
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(255)
End Sub

from the coding the PIC should receive the "255"

and my PIC PRO Basic coding :

INCLUDE "modedefs.bas" ' Include serial modes
DEFINE OSC 4

si VAR PORTA.4
loop VAR BYTE

start:
SerIn si,T2400,["255"],loop

IF loop Then led

led:

High PORTB.4
Pause 5000

GoTo start

End


can anyone help me to solve the problem...i really need help..thank you

Is the mscomm1.output being called by something? From this, it looks like it never gets there. Do you have a button to click to send it? Try adding a command button and:

sub command1_click() 'turn LED on for 5 seconds
mscomm1.output=chr$(255) & chr$(1) 'sends (255)(1)


Try this:

led var byte

grabserial:
serin porta.4,4,[255],led
if led=1 then 'turn on the led
high portb.4
pause 5000 'wait 5 seconds
low portb.4
endif
goto grabserial

end
