I'm an entry level programmer and my company is implementing RFID. We have purchased an LED and will later use it to display RFIC transactions but right now I am first trying to display simple text to the screen. I have a VB executable that uses 5 parameters-- (1) the message in quotes (2) "single" for displaying the text on a single line or "double" for using 2 lines at once (3) "scroll" for the text to scroll left or right, or "up" or "down" (4) "red" "green" or "yellow" (5) the COM port.
I need to use these parameters to generate control characters in a string. The string will consist of a constant of control characters -^D^G001^J01, then any special control characters (for example, ^W sets the color to red), then the message, followed by ^R, another constant. I need to push these control characters and message to a COM Port. How can I do this in VB? I'm very new to programming and need help. I apologize if I "talked down" to any professionals that already know how to work LED's, and I appreciate any help!!
