Hi. I need to connect my pic to visual basic, VB.

I need them to send a value from my sensor through serial and display in VB application.
I'm using pic16f877a and PCWHD 4.084.
vb 6.0.

I need to know the connection and program both for PIC and VB.
I don't have experience to do this.
If anyone can give a reference please do.

A complete PIC application can be found here. You can search for VB code to talk to a serial port.

OK I see that the webarchive did not archive the source code. I have that code- if you want it you can go to my website: analoghome dot com and hit the link to send me an email - I'll send it to you.

Hi,

use mscomm object to revived the data from serial port.

1) first set band rate and port number in mscomm1 properties window.
2) Put timer1 object in to a form1 and set timer interval is 100 in properties window.
3) Put text box object in a form1.
4) double click the timer1 object, its go to code window.
5) put following code in to a code window
