Need HELP with Com port in V Basic using VBasic i want to communicate between my computer and Ham radio transceiver.I can open the the com port and I can send info to the radio But here is my problem. This is the way it is done in QBasic Open "com1 " etc print#1, chr$(0);chr$(15) this instructs the radio to sent back 75 bytes to the computer. in using QBasic this received the info B4= input(loc(1),#) the above line is junk it should read b$=input$(loc(1)#) for I = 1 to len(b$) b=mid$(b$,i,1):print b$ then i can process the bytes.How can this input$ from the com port be done in VBasic does any have any suggestions would be greatly apreciated. Thanks Bob Kowaluk There are 2 Replies.
