    Being a little more specific could help, but you can use the MSComm control the com port. Read through the help files on the MSComm control.

    Cool

    What i am truing to do is design a robotic arm that is controlled by computer.

    this arm has 5 motors in it , the polaritu must be reversible.

    and no i do not want to power it from the comm port.
