I have a USB device that is "seen" as a COM Port. It has eight channels, each require a single character to turn ON/OFF. Its a http://www.dlpdesign.com/usb/io8.shtml DLP-IO8 for reference. I have the COM port part
working 100%.
1-8 turns ON each channel (12345678)
Q-I turns OFF each channel (QWERTYUI)
<pre style="color:#333333; font-family:inherit; font-size:13px; outline-width:0px; outline-style:initial; outline-color:initial; list-style-type:none; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word; padding:0px; margin:0px; border:initial initial initial <span style="font-style:inherit; font-family:Arial,Liberation Sans,DejaVu Sans,sans-serif; outline-width:0px; outline-style:initial; outline-color:initial; font-size:14px; line-height:18px; white-space:normal; padding:0px; margin:0px; border:0px initial initial Truth table for device: 1 = Ch1 ON | Q = Ch1 OFF 2 = Ch2 ON | W = Ch2 OFF 3 = Ch3 ON | E = Ch3 OFF --- 8 = Ch8 ON | I = Ch8 OFF [/code]
Sending a "124" will turn on channels 1, 2 and 4.
Sending a "QWR" will turn off channels 1, 2 and 4.
I want to randomize ON/OFF output of device with "on-the-fly" speed control.
cmbSPRan.Value is my NumericUpDown starting at 1 and ending with 10 default is 5 for speed control
Randomize code:
