    Serial Port Timing

    I am writing a program which sends a text file to to a microcontroller via the serial port with the MSComm control.

    I need to put a 10ms delay after each character and a 50ms delay after each line.

    Can anyone give me some help?

    ABsolutely. Use my countdown timer, which depends on WokaWidget's APITimer class:

    Its very easy to use.

    Like:

    VB Code:
    1. Dim Timer as clsCountDoenTimer

    2. Set Timer = New clsCountDoenTimer

    3. Timer.Interval = 10

    4. '

    5. Timer.Increment ' this starts the countdown.  Successive "Increments" can be made before or after the first has completed.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.
