How to Write a Windows Serial Interface Script File

I found an old version of Hyperterminal that I use for some simple commands. If you need to send strings you will have to wirte an app. If your familiar with C,C++ or visual C, I can send you some of my source code.

I have used C in the past, having a look at your code would be useful thanks...

I was able to do this in visual basic, it took a little searching to find the correct commands to sent output to a serial port, but after that it was quite easy. My use was also as an output for a PIC micro as a test program to setup and test my project. Here is a link with some code that does look sort of familiar. If you don't use VB this won't be much help, but I was able to piece together what I needed with this.

Cool! PIC's are allot of fun and extremely powerful. I was playing around with the Microchip PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit. There was a 4 part contest last year with the PIC chip. Many cool ideas and inventions.

Some later versions of VB can send commands thru serial ports. For a few hundred dollars WinWedge by TALTech will do it for you, at least for the RS232 port.
