serial communication using RS232

[faleni]

The aim of my project is to turn LED on/off using computer. Whereby the computer and microcontroller are connected by RS232. I have created computer interface using Jframebuilder and save the file as turn.java. The interface have two buttons (LED on) and (LED off)

If the user press button (LED on), then LED must be on and if the user press the button (LED off) then LED must be off.

Looking at zipped file turn.java on the attachment, when opening the file turn.java using Jcreator the following code appears.

/****************************************************************/
/*                      turn	                            */

when running the project the interface is created. From the interface, I want binary 0 to be send/transmitted through RS232 cable to microcontroller, when the button (LED off) is pressed and when microcontroller receive binary 0 then, I can write assembly code that turns off LED. If button (LED on) is pressed then binary 1 must be transmitted through RS232 cable to microcontroller and I can write assembly code that would turn on LED when binary 1 is received at the microcontroller.

From the code above, Could you please insert the instructions/code that would make it be possible for binary 1 to be send when button (LED on) is pressed, under this class

private void jButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
	{
		System.out.println("\njButton1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) called.");
		// TODO: Add any handling code here

               }

and also the code that would make binary 0 to be send through RS232 to microcontroller when button (LED off) is pressed, under this class.

private void jButton2_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
	{
		System.out.println("\njButton2_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) called.");
		// TODO: Add any handling code here

	}

Circuit diagram, computer interface and the circuit i have build are shown on the attachment. I would be very happy if any one could help me. Thank you
