this instructable is part of my book Arduino + visual basic 6.0 (make your own software to control arduino Robot.
Visual basic 6.0 is a very old version some people may ask why we want to use visual basic 6.0 . visual basic 6.0 is a user friendly programming language ... so if you are beginner and want to lean basic pc based controlling system then visual basic 6.0 is a best option for you ....here we start :)
part to be required
1.Arduino board
2.bread board
3.jumper wires
4.leds
software's
1. visual basic 6.0
2. Arduino ide
Step 1: Bread Board Circuits
Here we use Pin 9 as digital output pin connect Led With 9 Number pin of Arduino Board .As shown in breadboard circuit .
Step 2: Arduino Program
int led= 9;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
if (Serial.available())
{
int drukdata = Serial.read();
if (drukdata=='a')
{
digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
}
else if(drukdata=='b')
{
digitalWrite(led,LOW);
}}
}
Step 3: Visual Basic 6.0 Program
make form shown in picture
Program for Visual basic 6 (Led on off Control Software)
Private Sub EXIT_Click()
Form1.Hide
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
MSComm1.RThreshold = 3
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,n,8,1"
MSComm1.CommPort = 2 // (Write Port Number on which your Arduino Board is available).
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
MSComm1.DTREnable = False
Text1.Text = ""
Shape1.FillColor = vbRed
End Sub
Private Sub TURNOFF_Click()
MSComm1.Output = "b"
Text1.Text = "LED IS OFF"
Shape1.FillColor = vbRed
End Sub
Private Sub TURNON_Click()
MSComm1.Output = "a"
Text1.Text = "LED IS ON"
Shape1.FillColor = vbGreen
End Sub
