It even has code with it. Yes you can talk direct to a 'usb' or serial port w/7.6. Sincerely, Paul D. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Faith Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 11:40 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Using RBASE 7.6 to control physical PC connected devices like speakers and USB or RS232 connected lights and sirens. Hello Folks It looks like I can send a sound or wav file to a set of PC speakers, this is in the docs. Any advice, hints or gotchas on using this syntax in a form in an 'On Exit EEP'? SET VAR vPlay = (GETVAL('PlayAndWait','c:\windows\media\tada.wav')) Will play sound/wave file and waits for the sound to finish before continue to a next command. This could be a long time if the sound file is long. You would want this if, for instance, you're writing an answering machine aplication in R:BASE for Windows. Also, is it possible to do/send any or all of these from an RBASE 7.6 application? 1) flash the screen with a color for a certain duration? 2) send a command to a USB connected device ( in my case a stacklight) , (when we find one... in case the RS232 to USB adapters won't work with the devices below or ... in the event that RBASE 7.6 can send control commands through a USB port but not through an RS232 port) 3) send a command to an RS232 connected stacklight? http://www.wolfautomation.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=21036
