Finally I have a program in VB2008 which actually interacts to an 877 via the Eblocks USB board.
It comprises a set of LEDs on port D, switch (Leds on port B), LCD on port A

Being a total novice at VB this is like winning a gold medal.

Hello there Goldwingers

Congrats your program looks great. We will shortly be releasing something similar to what you have done but designed for the USB devices such as the ECIO. If you want to write a short article about what you did then I will place you into our articles section.

Hi Ben,

The program is still under some construction issues and needs some further refining to allow the following;
set a com port from a list
and changing bytes to text ( that bit is difficult being a novice at vb)

I am also trying to implement your "byte to Hex" program into my pic to allow further options on the switch input routine of VB.. I just cant seem to get the VB to read Hex numbers coming in.

So its not fully ready, but for me to be able to use my EBLOCKS and a PC is just what i needed.

Regards

Ian
