PureBasic Forums - English

;) Actually I posted about the one I made for iBasic first and then made one for Purebasic and cut and pasted the posting but forgot to change that bit.

I am a equal opportunity basic program, I even use VB.NET (gasp!) <grin>.

I don't really have a home team. Purebasic does somethings better ...

Oops, oh well that's what I get for not searching more. There are 172 on there now, I will go ahead and leave my flapper for PureBasic up just in case anyone wants to use it as well.

Hey guys, I have created a Flapper Map for all us iBasic programmers. Please swing by http://www.frappr.com/purebasicprogrammers and let us know where you hail from.

Thanks, I will check this out right now.

Here simple code snippets to do com port with windows api calls.
Hope that helps.

;r = CreateFile_("COM1:",#GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,0,#NULL,#OPEN_EXISTING,0,#NULL)
devCB.DCB
r = OpenFile(0,"COM2:")

; use this to verify com port
If r

Baldrick,

Actually I have confirmed it with the bundled application, and a couple different terminal programs. It is working. It is sending the tempature correctly. So I am sure the cables and all are working correctly. Thanks for the tip though.

mlwhitt,
Hope this doesnt sound too obvious, but ...

Baldrick,

Thanks for the example, It will tell me it's connected but I am still not getting any output but I can put a sniffer on the port and see that there is output from the sensor. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Thanks for the code, I will look further into it.

Here is a bit of code you ...

Thank you I will check it out. My French isn't that good so I might have to ask for some more help. But I think this will help.

I know that PureBasic doesn't natively support serial communications, but I was wondering if anyone had any sample code where they used PureBasic to access the Windows API to read from a RS-232 connection.

I have a sensor that I need to access thru the Com Port. I don't need to write to it, just ...

Has there been any word yet of native serial / com support?

From the looks of it ExtremeBasic does show some promise.

I've got to try the MVCom library, but I would love to see builtin serial support in 4.0. That would be totally awesome.

I can't wait to see what the Wiki will look like. Sounds like you guys are really on track. I think this will be a HUGE benefit to the community.

We all know you are just faking, ha ha.

Didn't offend me. I was just stating what I think dagcrack was getting at. I can see where he is coming from. There is a lot of people with only 1 or 2 postings on here that start new threads about PureVision. But that could because like me a lot of new people pick up PVXP at the same time they do ...

I think what dagcrack is saying is that people with very few postings (heck even myself as I don't even have 50 yet) can look very questionable when they come into a thread and start praising a product that is being discussed.

I think that is why it is important on this or any other forum for ...
