RE: Lakeshore 218 Temperature Monitor - SpriggsySpriggs - 09-15-2022 By the way.... Since you have piqued my interest with this project idea, I've decided to take a gander at the MSDN for COM port communications. I'm working on a little something that you might end up being able to try in the next couple of days... Code: (Select All) Option Explicit RE: Lakeshore 218 Temperature Monitor - Pete - 09-15-2022 If you're working on a Linux S.O.L. If you're working on a Linux S.O.L. If you're working on a Linux By the time this app is finished If you're working on a Linux S.O.L. Sorry, couldn't resist. Oh well, you can't please everyone. But maybe Linux and Mac users have other options, including WINE. @Spriggsy Best of luck with this endeavor,and a question: Would this lead to to ability to make a phone app that would be able to dial out over a router / modem, instead of a phone jack? I used to have a routine that worked on a phone jack, but never one that would connect over a router / modem. My current phone is on a cable modem.

VoIP. Old school was to use either use Windows Phone Dialer or write your own. Both went out over an RS232 plug-in modem. Ah, the slow old days of dial up internet. Hey to get away from being serious for a moment, funny and true story. There was a company back then that time period that had a similar business service. They wanted to be known as Dial-U-Pass, but when they domained their company name, it of course came out as... www.dialupass.com. I don't know about you, but I have a hard enough time placing a number from the outside world, and no one gets good reception inside a tunnel, anyway. I think on my old rip/xp, I had a phone jack in the back, and rigged up some program that would dial out over it, so basically a phone number stored in a program could be clicked and the phone would start dialing. That's basically what I'm looking for now, a way to get my computer to send the number to my cable phone, so I can dial out over that connection directly by "dialing" (clicking) the number from my computer. Since the cable modem has a phone jack, I think I'd have to have a way to go through my internet connection to the modem, or get some device attached to my laptop I can put a phone cord that goes to that modem, just the way my current phone connects to the back of that modem, now. Pete RE: Lakeshore 218 Temperature Monitor - SpriggsySpriggs - 09-15-2022 That sounds like something that while I might be able to fix up would be impossible for me to test because I don't have this sort of setup. I'd have to do a lot of research online to see if there is any code I can hack apart for you. We shall see! |
