I bought VB6 and have been able to figure out with tutorials how to write some little programs to send out serial data to some picaxes to control some robot functions and pan/tilt cameras. I would like to be able to do some more advanced vb programs to monitor my keyboard and hopefully end up using a joystick plugged into my usb port to control the rs232 out on my laptop to control them . Does anyone know of any books that would be able to help me do this. I bought a vb book but it doesn't really seem to be geared towards this type of application.I appreciate any advice.
