Sebarang pertanyaan/pembelian/bantuan boleh dm saya dia twitter eh:

Theres have a little bit different between Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic 2008. If you want to learn how to use serial communication and create an EXE in Visual Basic 6.0 here is video that i've make to help you in coding and how to find serial comm component in VB 6.0.

If you still dont have Visual Basic 6.0 software, you can download here for free!!

How to find CD key!!

You need to watch on youtube because i've some problem during uploading this video on my blog :(

Arduino Code

You can copy and paste this code or directly download HERE ...
Modify this code if needed!



int led = 13;
String incoming;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  if(Serial.available() > 0)
  {
    incoming = Serial.readString();
    if(incoming == "Led ON")
    {
      digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
      Serial.println("LED is ON....");
    }
    else if(incoming == "Led OFF")
    {
      digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
      Serial.println("LED turning OFF.......");
    }
  }
}

Code Explaination

String incoming;
-string that vb send to arduino.

int led = 13;

-tell arduino i attach led on pin 13

Serial.begin(9600);

-Baud rate. Communication speed between Arduino and PC

pinMode(led, OUTPUT);

-set led as output

if(Serial.available() > 0)

-when serial is available. If Arduino read any byte

incoming = Serial.readString();

-read serial in string.

if(incoming == "TURN ON")

-if incoming string that arduino read is "TURN ON"

digitalWrite(led, HIGH);

-Arduino will turn on led on pin13

Visual Basic 2008

You also can learn how to use serial comm between Arduino and VB 2008 here. I also post my Arduino basic code to blink a LEDs using VB 2008.
