Does anyone have a compiled ocx file of the Visual Basic user control Nate Smith made for reading the dashboard port? VB .NET can handle compiled user controls from earlier versions, but not the source files.
I’m actually working on an updated verson of this code, but with other projects I have in the works, I’m not exactly sure what the ETA is going to be…they don’t have any easy way to access serial ports built into .NET (the MSDN Docs for it actually refer to API calls), so writing a .NET native version is going to take a bit of work…plus there’s a few things I’ve been wanting to add to the code for a while now…
I found code for an rs232 class for VB .NET that uses the windows API to read from a serial port. I’m using that to create a native .NET user control for the dashboard. I’ll put it up in the white papers when I’m done. Now that college apps are done, it might be soon
