Basically i'm putting 5v on the PORTA.0 pin and just gettin 'label1' in the label of VB.

Should VB always be updating and looking at the USBinput or should there be a READ button thats calls the procedure?

Also on the VB side it has:

Code:
MyText = (CStr(BufferIn(1)) + Chr$(BufferIn(2)) + CStr(BufferIn(3)) + CStr(BufferIn(4)) + CStr(BufferIn(5)) + "V")
Most of it contains CStr but the bit thats contains Chr$, i presume thats for the "." as sent from the PIC.

I've tried playing around with it, but still no joy. If you have it, is it worth sending me the vb source file you have just for this bit?

Are you on messenger, i am, i thought it might be easier to converse?

Thanks again,

Steve
