Kevin Weddle Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I am using the Borland compiler and the examples don't seem to work. I make a call to a standard function in the correct header file and it says it doesn't exist. What could the problem be? I have had similar problems with serial communcations functions.I have a theory as to why it does not work. I think my windowsXP does not support these functions. Could this be true?

Kevin Weddle Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I quiried another post to find out that many functions aren't supported by the WindowsOS. However, my compiler is compatible with earlier Windows versions. I guess I just needed to read my CD to find out. But I cannot believe that my functions don't work just because it's WindowsXP. I posted in this forum because I believe that the basis for microcontrollers is the programming. I need at least to use functions that will interface with the microcontroller through the parallel and serial port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Weddle Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I need to know the process for serial communication under WindowsXP. I need to know what to include and what to load. I have the inpout/inpin files but I don't know if they are just for parallel port interfacing. Could somebody post the C code for please.
