You are doing a fine job

Cheers mackrackit, I wouldn't be without your and Henriks help though.

Yes the bare bones are taking shape with the Form, a lot of tweaks could be made though (having the COM Port open / shut automatically, clearing the buffer etc).

Next job to get the PIC to send High then Low Bytes and have VB join them back into a Word.

Fascinating stuff this.

Hi mackrackit,

Should I carry on tweaking the VB Terminal program for now or look at the rfPIC-TxRx program?

It's amazing how even learning how to make what appears to be the simplest of changes can take a whole evening. Sometimes I don't even know the term for what it is I'm trying to achieve / change...doh.

Looks like you have VB under control for what you want to do to start with.
Might as well work on the RF some.

I know what you mean about terms and things. One of the problems with being self taught I guess.

Yes, having a VB Terminal program via a usb / db9 cable that magically receives Random numbers from the PIC to pc is a result alright

I've managed to get a txt file to open with a button click to write the Bird count Bytes to.

Seriously interesting stuff this.

Hi mackrackit,

I haven't left the Country. I've had a few things to deal with of late but still learning in between times.

I figured as much.
Are you working on RF or VB lately?

Are you working on RF or VB lately?

I've spent some time looking at Bruce's rx / tx program to try and figure out 1/ exactly how it works and 2/ To modify it to transmit (and then receive) firstly a byte, then a word to send to the Terminal program.

On the VB front, I'm looking to make the VB Terminal program read the transmitted data from the PIC and auto-write that information to a txt file.

I guess I'm riding two horses (and juggling three balls in my private life right now). I guess I should focus on one (the VB or the rx/tx that is).
