I have my visual basic software working to transmit data to a picaxe in order to control my "robot" and I can recieve data from the picaxe from sensors etc. This is all via the com port.
I want this project to work on my laptop but it doesn't have a comm port, only USB.
I understand that if i buy a USB adapter for the download cable I can programme the picaxe via the programming editor, But will this effect my visual basic programme?
How am I to assign a commport in visual basic when its actually USB?
Has anyone achieved this?
Thanks
