Thread: serial port read

I think it comes from windows.h. Try to include that. Not too sure though
Amish

Changed <Winbase.h> to <windows.h> and now this will compile---

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

HANDLE pic;
main()
{
pic = CreateFile( "COM1",     // address of name of the communications device
      GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, // access (read-write) mode
      0,                  // share mode
      NULL,               // address of security descriptor
      OPEN_EXISTING,      // how to create
      0,                  // file attributes
      NULL                // handle of file with attributes to copy
   );
}

Have not had time to try in full program yet, but now I have a starting point.

Thank you for your help!!!
