Hi all,
I need to send a character say 'k' from 89C51 to PC's RS232 serial port. The character is perfectly send but the problem is with VB data format. I am passing hex value for 'k' by writing the instruction

MOV SBUF,#107H

And in VB I am using MSCOMM1 component to receive the character and display the same in a text box. The instruction are

TEXT1.TEXT = MSCOMM1.INPUT

I am receiving an ascii character(of higher value) insted of 'k'.

I am using 9600 baudrate
no parity
8 bit data
1 stop bit

Can anyone tell me how I can make the two devices(PC and MicroC)
understand eachother's language. I mean which data format I should
use that can be understand by both of them (VB and 89C51).
