I need to gather data from a Rabbit microprocessor that has a network
interface. My search for Visual Basics through Google found several sources
but none specifically mentioned networking, Ethernet, LAN, sockets and any
other buzz words I could think of. At Barnes& Noble I found a Microsoft
Book with Visual Basic 6 on CD Rom but a search through the table of
contents and index gave me the same results. The topic just wasn't covered.
My questions:
1) Do any/most/all Visual Basics provide Ethernet communcations?
2) If not all, what do you suggest?
2) Will someone give me a simple example of collecting data and saving it.
For example, assume the microprocessor endor is sending following ASCII
message 20 times per second: x:25,y:0,z:13<c r><lf>
(Bonus question: Is the <cr><lf> required?) How do I set up to get the x,
y, and z values from the network?
Thanks for your time,
Bryan
