Hi All, I am reviving my efforts to communicate to an instrument via a COM (Serial) port, using QB64 v1.00 running on a Window 7 machine. As some may recall, I have installed the 64 bit version of the ironically named INPOUT32.DLL, and I am trying to open the COM1 port, read status registers and read and write to the port. I have been able to do this, but ONLY while another (third party) program has opened the port for me. I cannot do this using with only QB64 and INPOUT32.DLL. As a reminder, a snippet of my initial message is pasted below. I very much suspect it is an issue with Windows 7, or just something missing from the DLL required to open the port in Windows 7. I have since confirmed that the problem is NOT the Anti Virus I use at work, and I have also tried various hardware handshaking configurations and manually pulling up/down control lines on the port.

Still, the only way QB64 successfully communicates with the port is with the third party software running. I also know that I can write to and read from the port using VBA from Excel 2010, and have successfully tested it, but I would like to be able to use QB64. SO, HAS ANYONE HERE SUCCESSFULLY OPENED AND COMMUNICATED WITH A SERIAL PORT ON A WINDOWS 7 MACHINE USING QB64? Have you been able to write to and read from a connected device? I would very much like to hear from someone who has success in doing this and use their code and setup as an example. Thanks a ton in advance, Dan -------------------------------------------------------Earlier message------------------------------------------------ First of all THANK YOU all, and particularly Galleon, very much for developing and supporting QB64.

I am a bit of a Luddite, preferring to use BASIC for my programming needs. I've long preferred QB45, since I can spend less time learning programming environments and setting software up on my machine, and more time getting it to work do to do the things I need it to do. QB64 has been extremely useful. I am attempting to use QB64 (v 1.00) on a Window 7 machine with an on-board COM port (i.e. Hardware port, not a USB adapter) to talk to a voltmeter via serial port.

I am having trouble opening the port. I can get it to work, but conditionally. I have located and installed the 64 bit update to inpout32.dll from the latest package at (this is an update from the earlier inpout32.dll made by Logix4u). I am using the code described on the QB64 wiki here: to open the COM port by sending bit-level commands to the UART ports as shown in the code immediately under 'COM Ports' halfway down the page.

Parallel port interfacing in Win32, using. A printer port using inpout32.DLL -- Now you. Parallel port interfacing, and program examples that work with.

And, everything works, BUT ONLY after I have loaded the free serial port test program here: microridge.com/comtestserial.htm (I have no interest in this program and am not advertising for it. It just happens to be the first one I found that works).

Eingeladen Zum Fest Des Glaubens Noten Pdf. With that test program I can send characters to the COM port and change it's state manually. If I run my QB64 program concurrently, I can do the same.

As soon as I shut down the test program, I can no longer do anything with the COM port from Basic. I also wrote the code attached below to continuously query the UART registers of COM1. Crack Rar Password. It seems to work fine, returning the values of the bytes associated with the COM port, but again, only when the serial test port program is running. Once I stop that test program, the values returned by my QB64 program are all 255, i.e. It doesn't seem to be able to read the port. SO, do you have any suggestions as to what is going on and how to fix it?
