Read data from COM port and send it to keyboard buffer

Post by mol »

Hi guys!
I need to read data from electronic scale connected via RS232 (I can do that) and paste this data into keyboard buffer.
It should work like a keyboard emulation.
Is it the way to do that?

Dragan' solution is exactly what I need.
The only better one would be hardware converter from rs232 to usb keyboard, but I didn't found such a device

hello Marek, you say you need to read serial port data you don't need to emulate for keyboard see how it works:
1 -to read serial port data you need to be listening to it through loops defined by your system
2- know what format the equipment is sending
3- convert this data to decimal value or readable character in your system follows an example that I took some time to read data from serial port in hmg
