Never worked with a DLL...need some help.

[sshrum]

I'm trying to write a script that will take the info gathered on my scuba dive computer via a open-source libdivecomp so I can offl-load the data and run my own analysis on the numbers.

http://www.divesoftware.org/libdc/index.html

The DLL is fully documented but I've never worked a DLL into my scripts (I usually just code all this stuff myself; I'm halfway tempted to do that here as well).

I'm 25 years out of using C++ so I'm having a time with this. I'm looking over his device.h, hw.h, and suunto_vyper.h but not seeing anything that will help me out.

I'm using commg.dll 2.76 posted in the forums here and I know that the device settings are COM5,2400,8,2,1,0 (port,rate,bits,parity,stop,flow)

I just can't figure out what I need to send in order to get a response back from the device. AT commands just get echoed back (but then again that's a Hayes thing)

The flipside of this is that the com dll just doesn't work in x64 and that's the reason I'm not seeing anything... IDK.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Compile your script as 32-bit and use the dll normally. That should work.
