Hi

Has anyone had experience of using Visual Basic (version 6) to
control an X10 main interface such as the TW7223 or TW5223 or XM10E,
using the serial port.

I have some documentation about it, but need some help with the code.

I am using the MSComm component in Visual Basic to talk to the serial
port,and can quite happily set the port (MSComm1.CommPort = 3), set
the settings (MSComm1.Settings = "4800,N,8,1"), open it
(MSComm1.PortOpen = True), etc.

Now I need to know how to send signals the X10/main interface will
understand.

I have tried (MSComm1.Output = "0x86,0x64") which I thought might
be
A1, but to no avail.

Does anyone hav some VB source code I could have please.

Cheers

Rid
