Paolo , Should work !
If you do not have a RS232 Port then use a serial Port/Usb emulator driver. If you have a RS232 Port then use a USB to RS232 cable convertor. Rev will send / read from Serial Com Ports only , the above is the solution. Rev 3.00 is better as you can use Com Ports > 9 Regards Camm ---- paolo <mazzapa...@libero.it> wrote: > Dear friends, I had this crazy idea: > > I would like to create a Rev application to control the temperature of > my room.
