VB Express Serial Interface Template

[Unsoundcode]

Hi to all, I would like to add to this forum a document that was well received on the Parallax forums. It is a template that can be built with Microsofts Visual Basic Express and provides a serial interface for use with many kinds of peripheral devices. I have personally used it to build applications using a BS2, BS2px,LCD, RF transceiver and Vdrive2 module.

Since I first posted it I have made some improvements and I think this is a great introduction for someone just begining to learn VB or even moving from an earlier version to the newer versions.

In addition to this small example I am working on a document with various examples of serial transmission/reception using the BS2 and Prop which I will add to the post asap.
Programming Visual Basic is a relatively new thing for me but if I can answer any questions I will gladly try and help
