Like I said, been a long time since I used VB..

I think you will need to parse the string into an array maybe and then check the elements, I will not even try the syntax. But this might give some clues.

Hi mackrackit,

I think you will need to parse the string into an array maybe and then check the elements

I've heard of all three and never used any of them, so more reading for me tonight.

I suppose an array is an array, if I learn about them for VB the same theory applies to a picbasic array so all part of the learning curve, the same for parse and elements.

I would not get hung up on the color thing right now, but of course it is up to you.
Getting the data from the MCU to VB is the important part. Dressing it up can come later.

Hi mackrackit,

Getting the data from the MCU to VB is the important part. Dressing it up can come later.

Indeed, Ill stick with that for now.

As as aside:

Learning to program is similar to learning to play a keyboard in that you want to be able to jump in and create/play something just like the original, however there's a big learning curve to be overcome and there are no short cuts! Wonderful feeling when things start to happen though.

Cheers mackrackit,

That's one serious and impressive interface. I think the thing that really impresses me the most here is the way you guys 'see' the solution in software if that makes sense, very,very impressive.

I'm going to have to play catch up and try and fill some very large gaps in my knowledge base (if I can).

Here's trying.
