Sending Serial Data? Topic is solved

[helpmeplease123]

Hi I am trying to send serial data to my Arduino which is using COM5 of on my computer.

What I am trying to do is while my Middle Mouse Button is clicked down it sends a '@' to the Arduino and when released it sends a '#'.

Then when my RButton is clicked down it sends a '^' and when it is released it sends a '!'.

I have been looking all over but can't find something that fits my needs.

Thanks for the help!

this program is command line, so you can use it with autohotkey to send to serial port... should work for you...

Just for the records - if using a third party tool isn't an option (eg restricted by a company policy) the second script within [this] ancient thread might be an option.
If one of our AHK pro- bro's would mind risking a review of it? Erm, smells like AHK Vanilla

I recently went through the same delema this guy did and dug through all the old com port scripts, they just weren't friendly or useable.

I ended making my own command line tool in PureBasic which I call from Autohotkey with my send paramaters, alot like the app for which I posted a link to, which is also open source and has no licensing restrictions.
