Serial communication

[neotrio]

Hi all,

I have written a script for serial communication which uses MSCOMM functionality......it is working fine for COM port. Now my question is does it also work for USB port?

awaiting your response.

Erm.. try it?

Or, post the code, so someone here can try it.. ?

It should work for a serial to usb converter which looks to windows like a com port, but it won't work for talking to devices over usb. With a serial to USB you are actually communicating with the driver for the device which imitates a com port, and the driver handles the usb communications.

I use NETComm for Serial Port communication which works with both USB and Bluetooth devices. This is a snippet of code which works with a GPS Bluetooth device

CODE

;Error Processing for COM Port

$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc")

;COM Port Error Message

Func MyErrFunc()

MsgBox(0, " GPS/Map Viewer", "COM Port Error : " & $oMyError.description)

PLExit()

EndFunc ;==>MyErrFunc

;Create NETComm.ocx object

$NetComm = ObjCreate("NETCommOCX.NETComm")

;Process message

$message = " Establishing GPS Communications."

DisplayMessage()

;Set object settings

With $NetComm

.CommPort = $port ;Set port number

.Settings = $settings ;Set port settings

.InputLen = 0 ;reads entire buffer

.InputMode = 0 ;reads in text mode

.HandShaking = 3 ;uses both RTS and Xon/Xoff handshaking

.PortOpen = "True" ;opens specified COM port

EndWith

Ant..

Thanks! actually I had some conceptual clots that's why I was not sure.Now I think my code will also work...........
