[Nono7380]

Here is a tutorial for using the LCD Smartie easily with Visual Basic 6.
LCD Smartie program must be configured to read an external file.
Sorry but I can not put links to images, the forum refuse it!

1) Configure LCD Smartie:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/smartieinvb6.jpg

Open LCD Smartie, go to setup.
Then select the tab "MISC." and chose $File(C:\file.txt,1)
In the sreens settings type:
$File(C:\file.txt,1)
$File(C:\file.txt,2)
$File(C:\file.txt,3)
$File(C:\file.txt,4)
And select Apply.
The LCD Smartie is ready to read and external file!

2) Routine for Visual Basic:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/vb6ot.jpg/

Create 4 Textbox.
Create a button.
In the button, the routine is:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Open "C:\file.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, Text1.Text 'Text box line 1
Print #1, Text2.Text 'Text box line 2
Print #1, Text3.Text 'Text box line 3
Print #1, Text4.Text 'Text box line 4
Close 1
End Sub

Now type something in the textbox, click "Write".
The LCD displays the 4 lines!

This is an example! You can of course replace the textbox with variables!
