Controlling serial port from Powerpoint

D

David0126

I want to be able to send ASCII text strings using a serial port to a
lighting controller when Powerpoint slides change. What is the best
way to impliment this? Should I be using some other software with
this capability?

You would have to write your own Visual Basic routine to do this, it isn't a
native function of PowerPoint.
