nigel, sorry I wasnt able to do explore more on the site...about the program for VB or C, delphi would be appropriate, actually I have made a GUI using delphi but its functionalities I havent done it yet could you help me and give me at least a simple code for this type of project?
the summary of my projects functionalities is this I used RGB lights as my transmitter and LDR as my receiver, then after that I used assembly to convert the analog signal into digital using the built in ADC of pic16f877, then those binary bits/datas Ive gathered I compared them and converted them into words that will display on the LCD...so far so good. the next thing I need to this is this I want to display the output to my PC using RS232 using GUI wherein if the color is red a color red will display and there will be a text displaying the RED word or maybe I can place a sound saying the color is RED or the color is Yellow. I hope you get everything, please help me I have to meet a deadline for this at school. Delphi would be ok...I really appreciate your response...
