c code

fly747ie

purchased a mikroelectronika board as a hobby as i am trying to get into programming,i have read a few books on c programming and visual basic aswell.

ok what i want to do be able to do is for my mikroC code to recognise different commands i send to it in visual basic.

For example if i send down the string PWM i want it to do PWM etc

To get me started i want my board to recognise the string HELLO and display it on the LCD

Here is my code but i am having alot of trouble getting it to work:


i want to type PWM into textbox3



Private Sub Command7_Click()
MSComm1.PortOpen = True

'this loop will send the ascii value for each character in the textbox
For i = 1 To Len(Text3.Text)
MSComm1.Output = Text3.Text
buffer = Asc(Mid(Text3.Text, i, 1))

Text3.Text = Text3 + buffer
Next

MSComm1.PortOpen = False
End Sub


Then PWM displays onto the LCD screen and PWM is performed
char text;

void main()
{
USART_init(2400);
LCD_Init(&PORTB); // Initialize LCD connected to PORTB

LCD_Cmd(LCD_CLEAR); // Clear display

while(1)

//LCD_Cmd(LCD_CURSOR_OFF); // Turn cursor off
if (USART_Data_Ready())
{
text = USART_Read(); // if data is received
// Print text to LCD, 2nd row, 1st column
LCD_Out(2,6,text); // i want hello to display here
Delay_ms(1000);
LCD_Cmd(LCD_CLEAR);

i put my PWM code here
}

THANK you
