I have been working on an 8051 project which will communicate with a PC using VB6. I'm using mode 1, which uses a start bit, 8 data and a stop bit. My problem is the start bit. Is there any way around this on the 8051 side? I'm not a bad VB programmer, but after months of trial and error, I am unable to make my program send a start bit. This is my last bit of hope for this project. If anyone can answer this question please do.
