Malcom Kemp has posted an improved version of the Visual Basic communications program started by M. Adam Davis for quick and easy serial communication with a PIC while still being able to deliver precise 8-bit values to the PIC over the RS-232 Tx line, and to receive and display precise 8-bit values from the PIC over the Rx line. Its available at: http://www.piclist.com/basiccomm or directly (for non JavaScripters) at http://www.piclist.com/techref/default.asp?url=piclist/basiccomm and thanks to Mr. Kemp! --- James Newton (PICList Admin #3) mailto:jamesnewton@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com or .org
