Hi,

Just a simple question;

Can I use VBA (Microsoft Access) to interface Arduino using Rx & Tx ?

My intentions are to create a database with set comands which will be comunicate with/to Arduino to follow comands given.

Thanks in advance
Kenneth Agius.

In the old versions of Viaual basic (NOT VBA), the versions before .net, there was a serial comm. vbx plugin. You might be able to use it with Access depending on which version you use.

Otherwise there is a guy who made a 20$ shareware plugin to excel that allows excell to read data frm the serial port, it is here:

I dont know if the plugin can send data though.
