Hi beeshyak,
Yes, you are right.
Sorry that I have misinterpret the question.
What shivachellam could be asking is can
VB codes communicate to a microcontroller.
Yes. A computer can talk to microcontroller through many means.
digital I/O, parallel port, serial port (RS232, RS485), Ethernet, WiFi.
for RS232, you can try searching for keyword "open com port"
for Ethernet/Network means, try searching for "TCP/IP" or "network socket port"
Almost any programming language can talk to a microcontroller,
because the limitation is not on the language.
It is the electronic hardware support that is important.
Nothing to do with the programming language.
If you are talking about could you write a VB code for microcontroller.
No. I have not seen any tool yet, to use VB programming on that microcontroller.
It is not impossible, just that no one wrote the tool yet, from what I know.
If there is a VB compiler for PIC16F877a, of course there is no problem.
I hope this would be clearer.
