Hello,

My controller (based on a 80c32) uses the Paulmon monitor (see pjrc.com). I've always
connected my system to my PC with hyperterminal.
I would like to write my one Visual Basic Terminal Programm. the only thing i have to do to make a connection is send the space character, but i get nothing in return (when hyperterminal is used a welcome message appears on screen). Does anyone has a example how to program such terminal.

This is a bit of the code i use:
(if then connection is ok the buffer should be filled with the welcome message)

Private Sub cmdConnect_Click()

Dim sTemp As String
Dim ntemp As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim ontvangst As Boolean

ontvangst = False
ntemp = 0

Com.Output = Chr$(32)

While ntemp < 32000
ntemp = ntemp + 1
If Com.InBufferCount > 0 Then ontvangst = True
Wend

If ontvangst = True Then
MsgBox "There is a return"
Else
MsgBox "No connection"
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Com.CommPort = 1
Com.Settings = "1200,N,8,1"
Com.InputLen = 0
Com.PortOpen = True
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Com.PortOpen = False
End Sub
