Serial Port Communication In Excel Vba Your Electronics Open Source
I'm trying to figure out how to send a string of data to a com port.The receiving end of my string will be a machine that directs what it gets from me to certain machines.I will build the string using data from the user. I don't know if I should build a table first and then send the one line of the table to the port or try and build a string to send.The string will consist of 8 byte fields byte0 is a constant number of 400 while byte 1 - 7 will be data from the user.I started by building a table and then just updating the table with the data needed. However I don't know if I can send the single line of data from the table to the com port.I'm really looking for any advise on a good way to do this.Thanks for all your help in the past and looking forward to your good insight. It looks like you have a workable approach available Tom. Unfortunately, you need someone with the understanding of that particular API to help you.I assume you know that this code will actually be allowed to run? As I said earlier, standard code not have direct access to the hardware.
On the other hand, it may well be that the API you're using goes from a position of trust (IE. From the correct side of the HAL - Hardware Abstraction Layer - of the OS).I could help on the VBA side, but it looks like that isn't what you need here. Option Compare Database.'

This VB module is a collection of routines to perform serial port I/O without.' using the Microsoft Comm Control component.
When you think about serial communications, Microsoft Excel isn’t typically the first program that springs to mind. But this spreadsheet has a rather powerful scripting language hidden away inside it, which can, with a little coding, be used to. The scripting language is called, and it has been a part of Microsoft’s Office suite since 1993. Since then, it has evolved into a powerful (if sometimes frustrating) language that offers a subset of the features from Visual Basic.It can be a useful tool. Imagine, for instance, that you are logging data from an instrument that has a serial port (or even an emulated one over USB).
With a bit of VBA, you could create a spreadsheet that talks to the instrument directly, grabbing the data and processing it as required straight into the spreadsheet. It’s a handy trick that I have used myself several times, and Maurizio does a nice job of explaining how the code works, and how to integrate this code into Excel.If you’re looking for other ways to leverage this Excel feature, consider or building inside of your sheets.Posted in Tagged, Post navigation.
Thanks for the article, I think this is an great way to log the data coming from my Arduino.I’ve seen some other tools that people have written to log and graph serial data, but it’s nice being able to do it with software that’s already installed on my computer and is familiar to me (as opposed to installing python and having to figure out which command prompt I’m supposed to use to write code and which one to use to run code. Ugh).Don’t listen to the jerks out there, I think you guys at HaD do an awesome job!
