I am trying to read data put out by a scale using VBA. The scale has an IP address and there is a dedicated port (10001) where the data is streaming. I just want to capture the stream so I can extrapolate the weight from the scale. I have researched quite a bit and have a VBA program to ping the IP address which shows that there is a connection. Now I need to go one step further and actually read the data. Anybody have ideas? If so, I would be extremely grateful.
