No I do not have ActiveSync installed ; COM1 is free and an app i have
made with VB .net picks up the digital caliper fine. Tell me, how to proceed
here ? Is the Emulator generally understood as BS ? Or is it NG with
hardware ?
All I want to do is to get a demo of this project running on a handheld. I
need a handheld with a 9pin serial port, and from what little I know of
pocket PC's I''ll have to buy an add on serial port....Do I stay with early
versions of windows for small devices and early versions of win ce (as It's
known to work with outside hardware) or do I go onto the newest in
hardware,OS's and VB.Net because all the old stuff was junk ?
Again, all I want to do is to write a small app to read the serial port
(getting caliper data) and do a lookup .....
