You're in luck. parallax.com just came out with resonably priced solar accessories. Tedsmith--I am using a Basic Stamp II with a MAX485 chip to send & receive information over 200' of RJ45 to a RS232 to RS485 converter on my laptop. I am just about done with what I am doing and right on...

TedsSmith--sure thing! Programming the micro-controller to send those characters at the end helped quite a bit and ensured the data to go where it is supposed to. Thank you very much. I will keep this thread in mind if I should have another question, since I believe an Email is generated to...

Tedsmith--yeah it appears I jumped to the conclusion that it worked correctly. Once I programmed the micro-controller for both data activities, the VB GUI put both results into the same label.caption, LOL. In addition the data does get corrupted everytime there is a change in the data...

Tedsmith--I seem to have it working correctly. I had to modify the code somewhat, though. I don't need LEN since I am not dealing with length--just data format(I think that's what you call it). Plus rather than using the FOR/NEXT delay, I always use SLEEP instead and I am not sure if I need...

Thanks Tedsmith and Foada, Tedsmith--What I mean by type1 is NE,SE,SW,NW, N, S, E,W. Since I am using a microcontroller, I had to program it to send "Dir1" for N,S,E,W and "Dir2" for E, W as compass directions inbetween. It definitely sends correctly to VB and type2 is the same reasoning...

Hi I am wondering if I could get some insight into a problem that I am having at the moment. Although I am not having trouble receiving 1 type of data, I am at a loss as to receive 2 types and putting the result of the 2 types of data in the appropriate label captions. In other words I am just...
