MSCOMM : How to send hex value through Com1?
Hello all
I've got a video machine which has RS232 port. The manual shows all available functions and the corresponding code. For example it says:
PowerOn 08H
PowerOff 09H
RotateLeft 33H
RotateRight 44H
So in a code, I am basically writing hex$(08) to the RS232port.. but it doesn't work. Weird thing is, if I write hex$(03), then the screen rotates left! hex$(04) rotates the screen to right. These two are the only two (out of 50) that I can sort of make it work.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I am guessing that there's no fault in Electrical connection since they are at least talking to each other.
Thanks.
