Hey all, I was wondering if anybody can help me with this. I need to write a simple function to send binary data to a COM port. Specifically, I need to send a string of data (12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 127, 0, 0, 0, 0) to COM6 to pop open a USB cash drawer that is NOT connected to a receipt printer (previous Google searches have indicated this is an important distinction to make) I have tried several code blocks I found online with Google searches, but none of them open the drawer.
An alternative would be to write a batch file to send the data, and use VBA to call the batch file. But again, the syntax I've used isn't working. It's a Volcora USB cash drawer, and I have attached the instruction sheet (just one page) to this post so you guys can see it. It's not really that detailed, and I think I'm missing some bit of knowledge that the instruction guide assumes I already have.
Any ideas? I really appreciate this community, as you guys have helped me a lot over the years. Thanks again!
