A Qns on CX-Programmer and VB..

[Guest Blast]

Hi all, i am doing a school project on colour sensor. And i am hoping to reflect the number of red, blue black objects detected by the sensor. I am using OMRON PLC(CPM1A) and wanna transfer the data of the number of red, blue and black objects detected to VB or C++, meaning i wanna make a program so that when i press 1, i can see the number of red or 2 for blue. How can i do it? Wat do i need?

Blast: You have been given more than enough code to complete your school project. As on other forums, we will not do your homework. Take the code. Work with it awhile. Try to understand the errors you are getting and then ask specific questions regarding those errors. You have to post a liitle code to get decent feedback.
