Anyone know much about programming for an RS-232 interfaced device?
I have a RadioShack digital multimeter with an RS-232 interface that comes with a voltage logging program. I want to hook up a thermocouple to measure the temperature of my apartment and record the measurement every 5 minutes.
So does anyone know the commands to send the RS-232 device and how to decode the data received from the RS-232 device in any computer language, preferably QBasic, Visual Basic, C, or C++.
If anyone is curious I plan on using this to monitor a programable thermostat when I am away at work.
