Funny thoing , same area I downloaded the manual from. Got in a hurry to get running

phishguy to the rescue. Did you get that from the CyberResearch web site?
I went there and downloaded the manual for the part but didn't see what you are talking about. Did I not dig deep enough?

I have received help from phishguy on how to talk to a COMM port, however this latestdevice I am trying to talk to shows up as a HID. It apparently has a built in microcontroller. So now COMM, I would like to talk to it in FreeBasic and not get into C or any other program language if I can. The devi...

Ok. I am full up and running. The calculations are complete. In this respect FB is like QB. I had to DIM some of the variables , but other than that I am displaying Altitude at a very fast rate,. Next job is a nice looking screen. Most of my programs use screen 13 for the big fonts, I may do some oa...

The device I am reading is constantly transmitting. All I really need to do now is decode the information and perform some math to get my final usable information. By the way the second program also worked right out of the box! Thanks again. When I get this part all the way done I will post the resu...

AWESOME.
The code worked right out of the box. All I did was substitute 9600 with 38400.

Thanks again. I copied your code and I will try it here in a little bit. After looking at it I think I have a better understanding. Thanks again.
I will post the result, Good or bad.

Thank you for the reply.
Now to show my heavy DOS , 68HC11 background, I will need to go research "Threads"
I knew eventually I would have to leave my well known (comfortable)routines.

In Qb when using the serial port I would do a line like this ON COM(1) then do a com handler subroutine to get the data. FB does not really have this, any ideas? I am new to FB, but have alot of equipment running using com ports using the method I described talking to Transducers and motors and such.
