Serin to Vb

[Johansch]

I don't think vb is the problem. I have treid 3 different serial vb examples and all off them is the same, but here is the code

Private Sub Command2_Click()
MSComm1.Output = Text3.Text + vbCr
End Sub


Private Sub Form_Load()
MSComm1.PortOpen = True

End Sub


Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim stemp As String

MSComm1.InputLen = 0
If MSComm1.InBufferCount Then
With frmMain
stemp = stemp + MSComm1.Input

List1.AddItem stemp

Text1.Text = stemp & vbCrLf
Text2.Text = stemp

End With
End If

End Sub

Well, what happens if you just forget about vB for awhile, and just use Hyperterminal (or whatever)...
In other words, can you make it work the other way around, the PIC echo's everything the PC sends to it....

[Johansch]

Yes with hyperterminal my pic do echo the characters back that I am typing in, but with hyperterminal am I not sending byte by byte as a type ? still new with this
The only way I get this to work is to create a B0 to B9 var, but with the end program I am not going to know how manny characters i am going to get
Will pic's with a Uart maybe help me?

You don't want to use Timer for that but CommEvents and comEVReceive.
