I would like to connect a retro-reflective sensor directly to my PC com port and use VB6 MSCOMM to detect the on/off signal.
The signal would be used as a simple counter in my program.
I'm not sure what I'm doing here, and I would rather not fry my motherboard in the process.
sensor: Cutler-Hammer E65CNL1A
red +12-24V +/-10% DC (works well enough for me at lower voltages)
black (-) OV
green Dark-On
White Light-ON
response time <3ms
input current 30 ma max
output dark on/light on switchable
160 operations/sec max
