We are doing a program called the national robotics challenge and entering a robot for a grand total of 30 some dollars. With none of the limitations of FIRST, we are actually going to try to send sensor output to a laptop and do all the long calculations there, but we're having problems doing this. Would you mind answering a few questions?

Was this program created in Visual Basic using the .net framework?

If it was, can you provide some source code or provide an example on how to read data into the visual basic program? - every time I try to read input from the serial port in my test program from the RC, I get question marks.

I'm using Kevin's serial port code to send data to the computer. Our team membership currently numbers four and we are all trying to learn as much as we can.

Thanks for your time.

This program is written on .net, I believe its managed C++, but I'm not sure.

If you want to see how to use .net serial comm to communicate with the RC have a look at seanwitte's dashboard viewer. Its written in C#, but the implementation is very similar.

If you want help with .net serial comm, or .net in general feel free to PM me.
