    Default Controlling COM Port using VBA

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to use COM1 Port(DB9) in my desktop to glow some LED's.

    I tried with VBA but I could not make it.

    Anybody know how to control the DB9 pins using VB or any other software?


    Regards,

    Yeah, lots of languages are out there. But I suppose VB is a fast way to prototype an idea using a GUI. I'd doubt one would be concerned with process speed and efficiency, when practicality and ease is a greater concern.

    My thoughts anyway

    Keep it simple. Keep it real.

    Visual C++ can be used too for accessing DB9 port.
