What I have tried:

VB
Option Explicit
Dim con As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset

Private Sub configure_Click()

    Form2.Show

End Sub

'Sub rs232()
    'Dim temp_varc, serialen, keyvolume
    'if (temp_varc=0x38) then
        'serialen = 1
        'upload
        'serialen = 0
        'keyvolume (5000)
    'End If
'End Sub
Private Sub upload_Click()

    Dim ff, i As Integer
    Dim temp_varc, serialen, keyvolume
    Dim address, buf, strtbyte As String
    'buf = Space(50)

     If MSComm1.PortOpen = True Then
        With CommonDialog1
        .InitDir = App.Path
        .FileName = ""
        .Filter = "Hex File (*.hex)|*.hex"
        .ShowSave

        ff = FreeFile
        Open .FileName For Output Lock Read As #ff
            'Form1.Label3.Caption = "Entering While Loop and Waiting For Command"

            address = 8000
            Print #ff, ("1 ")
            'gets(buf, Space(50))

            While (address < 8090)
                Print #ff, ("2 :10" & address & "00")
                'sendblock (address)
                address = address + Hex$(16)
            Wend
            
            address = 8000
            While (address < 8090)
                Print #ff, ("3 :10" & address & "00")
                'sendblock (address)
                address = address + Hex$(16)
            Wend
            
            Print #ff, ("3 :00000001FF")
            Print #ff, ("4 ")
 
        Close #ff
        
    End With
    End If
 
End Sub

What is wrong with the code you already have?

it is not downloading the data from the device

Your code snippet does not include any reading from the serial port.

I suggest to read about MSComm Control (MSComm Control)[^]. A simple example can be found at MSComm Control Example (MSComm Control)[^].
